Hello that sounds very similar to my story. I became such a regular at my go the receptionist knows me by name. I suggest that you go bug your gp until you get a gyne referral. If they've already found endo then they should be helping manage it. Also look for lindle on here. Her posts are great and it might be you need to see a specialist. Iv found this site to be amazing for support. Hope you start feeling a bit better soon and go bug your gp

Thank you so much and yeah I am due back at gynaecology soon just so draining can't keep up with it all and the coil is useless for me at the moment 

It's nice to talk to people who understand what I am going through 

Many thanks x

Hey, 

Firstly I want to say that it's brave you've came to this community.

It's hard to ask for help sometimes.

endometriosis is a disease that most times is invisible. I've had many surgeries close together.

Are you on pain control drugs? 

I have the implant that helps with my endometriosis but only a small amount.

I'm on real heavy drugs and I still feel pain just now. But it does get better.

You need to ask your doctor to see a pain specialist.

You need to see your surgeon again to discuss it never helped.

Endometriosis is such a hard disease to manage at the start. You are not alone. 

Many woman are dealing exactly with what you are.

You have to be strong when you see doctors. Don't leave until they help you.

Be strong knowing it will get better.

Thank you so much I am under the pain clinic and now back at gynaecology and nope I am not on any pain relief every day is hard 

[Claire-Kelly]

Its awful but you should be on pain relief.

If I have problems I now just demand my GP refers me as they're useless with endo. Not that this always helps but at least the consultant knows what the symptoms are. Agree that you should ask about pain relief.
