I have this .... the only thing I found that helped was rest. Obviously you can take pain killers and apply heat. I tried acupuncture which helped a bit.

The key is rest.

Hi,

Yes I have severe leg pains too. For me this is due to endometriosis. I normally take rest and if it is severe, I apply warm coconut oil with minced garlic to my legs and massage it for a while. It really helps. Try it once and take rest.

Hi hopeful82

Yes I suffer from this because of a chocolate ovarian cyst which causes leg pain and pins and needles sensation down my left leg, I personally use a hot water bottle and take pills when it gets very bad nothing else can really be done the doctor said it’s probably the cyst pressing on a nerve, won’t get sorted until removal of the cyst during surgery so it’s a waiting game now I’m afraid, I hope you get sorted Have you been to the doctor?

I sometimes have pain down my left leg. Most of my endo pain is on the left side, so I think it's affecting a nerve. I usually find just paracetamol enough to take this pain off.

I get pain too in both legs but I elevate my legs & use a hot water bottle, sometimes it helps and other times it doesn’t. Frustrating!

I used to have really bad leg (just around my knees) pain before. I just try and rest and not put pressure on it, I also started taking turmeric and ginger capsules (Vegan) and I think it took care of inflammation. Maybe ask your doctor and then try this as well.

Not what you're looking for?
