Hi everyone,
I feel a bit wrong writing in this section as I am not confirmed as having Endo.
I have tried my hardest to get a diagnosis but all the gyni wanted to do was put me on the pill! Felt like as I am not trying to get pregnant they didn't really care! I ran out of energy to keep up the fight and have now learnt to somewhat live with the pain (painkillers, hot water bottle, tracking when I'm due to ovulate (most painful time) and making sure I have nothing planned).
It's not ideal, but I am used to it now. The only thing I cannot seem to control is the pain I get after intercourse.
The best way to describe the pain I get (periods, ovulation etc) is like my insides have been threaded and tied together with a piece of string. I had sex for the first time in six weeks the other night and I literally felt like if I moved suddenly my bum would be ripped up into my body as everything was tied to tightly.
Does anyone else get something similar to this and how do you cope with it?
Hi there,
I found this to be the case with me it took 7 long painful years I felt that I wasn't believed the pain was in my head I felt that I was just a big baby and couldn't handle women's pains. but if you feel that something is wrong do not give up. keep going back until this is investigated.
I'll never forget what my recent gynaecologist said to me "I think you've earned your ticket to surgery now" speaks for itself, it's a battle but never give up until you have an explanation.
Good luck x
