Advice on easing pain

[aImz17]

Hi all,

Hope you’re all well. Really would like some advice. I was diagnosed with endometriosis but the one they can’t burn away a few years ago. I’m in microgynom pill but the last couple of months I’ve had really bad episodes of flare ups, making my stomach balloon up (looking like I’m 6 months pregnant) the pain goes down into my groin behind my left ovary (that’s where my endometriosis is located). I cant eat wheat/ gluten as this triggers off my endometriosis. I’ve taken cocodamol, mebeverine, buscopan, drank chamomile tea and even tried applying heat. In the past I have had sessions of Accupuncture that has helped in the past.

I like to keep fit &healthy by going gym and running but feel I had to bail this evening on the gym this evening as I feel I wouldn’t off been able to.

Please can you help what else I can do or take to help ease the symptoms. Also what are people’s thoughts on the mierna coil?

Many thanks

Hey,

I have the Mirena coil and although I was reluctant I’ve found it a positive thing. Helped reduce mood/emotional symptoms and cycle related pain to some degree.

I’m not diagnosed, everything points to endo and I’ve got a lump in my pelvis so I think that’s why I’ve been experiencing a lot of intense pain symptoms again, but I honestly feel I’d be suffering a lot worse if I didn’t have the coil.

I’m waiting for MRI results before lap is booked, but I will ask them to continue with the Mirena after surgery.

I hope you find some relief.

Oh try nurophen+ and paramol (codydramol) for a few days when pain is too bad. It’s like ibuprofen with codeine and paracetamol with codeine. But don’t take for too long. 🤪

I had the Mirena placed last Thursday. Don’t read all the reviews. Although it wasn’t pleasant getting it placed, it was over pretty quickly.

I just started my period and it is defiantly not as bad as others. I am hopeful that long term this will help.
