Stabbing pain inside for 7 months..

[Bernie82]

Hi all, new to this site. For the past 7 months I have had a stabbing pain inside on the left. It feels as if something is constantly pulling. If I orgasm its like someone is stabbing me in the same place and its really painful and I have a dull ache in my stomach and back for hours after. During my period its really painful and I can no longer use tampons as it feels like its aggravating it.. I've been waiting for an internal scan since it first started...does any of this sound familiar...

Dear Bernie82

Welcome to the forum. I hope that you find it a good source of support and information.

If you have concerns about your symptoms and you have not had any assessment before, we'd recommend you seek medical advice. Seeing your first GP would be a good first port of call.

We have good general information about endometriosis and getting a diagnosis on our website:

You might also find it helpful to read our information which discusses painful sex and endometriosis:

I'm sure others will be along to offer their support and to share their experiences with you.

Best wishes

Hi - did you get anywhere with this? I have similar, I'm on gabapentin for pain but still have pain in my lower left abdomen that comes and goes. The last couple of organs have felt like someone is stabbing me

Hope you are seeing a gynae or other specialist.

So I finally got my appointment and he suspects endometriosis. Having a lap to double check and fitting a coil as he thinks it will help...
