Pain when walking

[princessk09]

I have pain constantly but I’ve noticed my back and hip/pelvic pain gets a lot worse when I start walking especially long distance.

Hot water bottles don’t help the pain and I’m currently going through ovulation so my lower stomach is like a dull achy feeling with sharp pains 🙄

Does anyone else get pain when walking and know what it could? Is it linked to endo?

Before my first lap I got bad pain when walking. It would feel like a heavy, dragging ache very low that would get worse when I walked to the point I could hardly walk any distance. I would get that almost constantly, I know get it in the two weeks before my period. X

Yeah I’m having sharp pains in my right ovary but that’s just ovulation atm. But I constantly have a heavy achy feeling in my hips and back area, even when I’m just sitting down xx

Hi,

I've had that pain in my left hip and travelling down my right thigh for 3 years now. MRI's showed there was nothing wring/damaged in my hip/thigh area.

I had an elective bilateral salpinectomy in January and they discovered then that I had some endometriosis and burnt it away. I also had the mirena coil fitted.

Since then I still have the hip/thigh pain and it does worsen when walking around. The pelvis/lower back/lower tummy paid gets worse the week of ovulation.

I find that a hot water bottle and ponstan forte helps me when at home. If I'm at work I literally sit massaging my thigh.

I hope things pick up for you soon.

Hi,

I am currently trialling a TENS machine when walking. I have tried it on my pelvis but yet to do so on my back.

A hot water bottle helps my back but because I am unable to hold one close to my pelvis now as for some reason the pain gets worse.

Do you know if you have endo in certain areas? My pelvis clearly can't deal with walking and that is due to severe endo in womb, on bladder etc and my back pain is due to endo on bowel, kidney etc.

They didn't know exactly why I was getting such bad back pain before the lap, then all became clear. My pelvis is much worse post op.

The endo specialist said in his report that he thinks “I have pelvic endometriosis” I don’t know if that means it’s all over or something.

I get pain in my bladder and bowel during my period as well. My POD was clear on the ultrasound last June.

Literally any walking hurts in my hips and lower back and certain exercises causes like a clicking/catching feeling in my hip joint. X

Hi,

Can they do an MRI or laparoscopy? Ultrasounds don't tend to show endo adhesions unless deeply infiltrating. They only saw one patch of the worst endo on an ultrasound two weeks pre-op. It turned out to be everywhere.

The clicking/catching sensation sounds like it could be some form of arthritis or something else Joint related. X

I’m on the waiting list for a laparoscopy. I just hope the surgery shows something tbh so that I’ll have better answers x

[SEELiz]

That's good news. I really hope you get some answers and relief from the pain too. I was desperate for answers before my surgery. x
