Hello everyone,
I was diagnosed with stage 4 endo and possibly frozen pelvis about 5 months ago. I had what turned out to be an exploratory laparotomy, since I was told the doctor couldn't see the organs and did nothing further. I didn't even get to speak directly with the surgeon, since he was a visiting the island where I live, for only one week, and had to leave after the surgery. The other doctors, in whose care I was left, wouldn't provide me with much information So I still have a lot of unanswered questions. What ever little I do know is from research that I have done. I am 39 and would have like to have at least one child...but it seems that this is not likely to happen.
My experience with endo is that I have paifull periods which I try to manage with pain killers and rest. Some times are worst than others.
Then there are other random times during the month when I experience sharp pains if I even stand or walk around. Pelvic pains, shooting pains in the anus, vagina as well as lower back pains. This happens for about 5 days. I basically just try to cope the best I know how.
It helps to know that there is this community of women who share similar experiences. Thank you for sharing.
I hope someday soon to get some relief.
