So relieved to find someone with similar symptoms and pain, I take the same tablets for pain and they do not work at all!!

I wake up and can't walk for a good 30 mins due to the pain, I totally understand when you say it's like your insides are trying to pop out... it's awful pain.

My DR gave me diclofenac gasto-resistant tablets and even they didn't help, have you told your dr that you're pain is worsening? I've been told to "not be shy with taking pain relief" but nothing seems to work for me either. :(

Hope you get some pain free days soon. Take care x

Thanks so much for your reply it's such an odd pain it literally feels like my insides are peeling away and r about 2 fall out!! I mite have 2 go talk 2 my GP again!! I'm waiting on surgery I rang them 2day and the lady was very rude on the phone it's really sad how people don't have an understanding for patients!! I work as a health care assistant and always put myself in my patients shoes and treat them all with totally respect and dignity!! Endomitreiosis is horrible and it's worse when people don't understand your pain!! I hope u feel better soon!! Xx

You're welcome, it really is a strange feeling, sometime's the pressure is so bad I feel like my hips are going to pop open and erupt.. i hate it :( and other times the pain is trapped which means I can't walk for a few minutes..sometimes more.

I work in admin for the NHS and try and do the same, my employers are so rude to me and always talk down to me when I say I'm in severe pain and agony at work but not entitled to time off. It's always difficult working in health and being a patient in health, because the staff are so rude sometimes!!

I haven't been diagnosed as of yet, only with pcos but i feel like my life is being ruined by whatever is wrong with me :( I hope your surgery goes well and you get things sorted sooner than later, we all deserve a break! Same for you, hope you're better soon xxx
