Where can endometrial cells grow?

[LTyrer]

Hello Lady's

I in the process of looking into all the pains I am living with, and after the last scan they think it may be endometriosis. This year after each moth everything has been getting worse and worse. Where can endometrial cells grow? I have been getting new and strange pains all over the place that get worse and are very confusing.

Any information is welcome. I am just starting to struggle to do anything at the moment.

I've had endometriosis on the bowel, uterus, diaphragm, ureters, fallopian tubes, pelvic walls, pouch of douglas and ovaries so there's a few places for starters, however, I am aware that endometrial cells have been found in the lungs/nose/knees and other strange places so I think they can migrate in aggressive cases. The problem with feeling pain everywhere is that endometriosis triggers a lot of referred pain, so, for example endo on the diaphragm can give you shoulder blade pain. There is nothing wrong with the your shoulder as such, but you will feel the pain there, so it is often very difficult to pinpoint exactly where the pain is starting from. Endo can grow on major nerves running through the pelvic region too which refer pain down the legs etc, I get excruciating right thigh pain all the way down but it stems from nerves possibly being affected by endo. Sorry I can't help more. Hope you can get some respite. x
