Hi!

This pain (as well as Right shoulder pain) was the first thing that made me look into Endometriosis. I still haven’t got any diffinitive answers yet but my advice would be to keep an accurate record of any symptoms you suffer with every month, even if it isn’t related to your period.

I even would track when my throat was sore, and eventually after about a year I realised I get a sore throat around the time I’m ovulating. Wierd huh?! Lol.

Keep a track tho, and you can then see after time what’s happening, and if your symptoms are regularly occurring.

Could especially help when it comes to seeing the doctor. Chin up! X

I used to get that. I had surgery about a year ago to remove what turned out to be a larger than grapefruit sized endometrioma. Haven’t had that pain since surgery. When you have something that size (or even smaller) it displaces and pushes on other organs. It needs space!

I agree with Laura2012. Keep track of your symptoms and when they occur...it will help get you to a quicker diagnosis and treatment!

I get this too!! Feels like a band of pressure

is squeezing at the base of my ribs and it’s quite sharp pain. After the advise from Laura I think I’ll start tracking this too to see how it might be related to my cycle as it’s super uncomfortable 😣

My 18 yr old had exactly that, and after 3yrs she finally had a lap this week and was diagnosed with endo on her bladder so keep a record of any symptoms, and don't be fobbed off like she was... good luck xx
