Where is your Endo located?

[Ncarruthers]

Hello ladies.

I'm just wondering where your endo has been found when you had your laperoscopies? Mine was initially discovered 10 years ago on my left ovary and a scan has found my ovary is fused to my uterus. However when the pain really kicked in, about 6 months ago, I've found that my pain was always higher up in my abdomen from my belly button up. Every month it feels like hot glass moving through my body. It's just that every time I say where the pain is, doctors always look confused. The pain always goes when I the bleeding slows down so the gynaecologist says it's endo although I haven't had a lap for so long. Also, I'd just like to know if any of you have a bruised feeling in places when you press down on your abdomen? The docs are now sending me for a scan because of the bruised sensation around my stomach.

Many thanks in anticipation

Thank you for your reply. I'm scaring myself silly at the moment because of these tender areas. I'm a bit of a mess at the moment in all honesty. My gynaecologist has put me on a course of Prostap injections to induce the menopause and it isn't going well. Two injections in and I've had 3 trips to a&e thinking I was experiencing a heart attack/stroke and I had an ambulance at my house on Sunday because it felt like I was going to die. I've been off sick for 2 and a bit weeks now because I can barely function. My parents in law are taking care of my children while my husband is at work, so in a nutshell life is very grim,I'm struggling to believe that its just the menopause that's making me so I'll and I'm thinking the worst because I'm so low. I'm on hrt (add back therapy) but it isn't helping. I'm sorry to burden you with my issues, it just helps to jot it all down.
