I get this on and off, i have bilateral 6cm cysts but only tend to get the hip pain around ovulation. It’s a horrid feeling, but reading other people’s story seems to be a fairly common side effect.
It’s difficult to say, the closest I could describe it is that it feels like bony joint pain whilst walking or moving on it, but like pressure if I try to sit or lay on it. I tend to watch tv leaning to my left side on the sofa and know if I’m getting problems as I have to sit the other way. Likewise in bed, I have to lay the other side. I found that heat soothed it well, and I’ll always have a bath to try and help it along. I always try and save pain killers as a last resort. X
I’ve not been diagnosed with Endo but get pain in the left hip area which is worse while having a period and just painful at all other times, it did go away briefly after being fitted with the coil but came back when I started being treated with estrogen, gynaecologist says it’s the wrong place for ovary pain but to keep an eye on it, he suggested I stop the estrogen cream and continue with just the patches and see if that makes any difference. I’ve read estrogen can make Endo worse so that makes me think that’s what it is.
