Random leg pain?!?

Does anyone have horrible dull ache / throbbing pain in their legs? I’ve been feeling so smug for the last couple of months because my pelvic pain has been nearly non-existant however this horrible leg pain has been going on for the last couple of weeks.. I’ve had it before too but it comes and goes.. It’s usually worse on my period but I’m not on at the moment and it feels awful all down my right leg.. I do usually get my pelvic pain on my right hand side but no pelvic pain at the moment.. Just this horrible leg pain!! ☹️

Yep! Leg and lower back have shown their horrible heads in the past few months! From what I've seen on here, lots of women get it with endo. But it still makes me look like an old woman when I'm trying to stand up after sitting on the floor!

Yes leg pain is common with endo. I use a hot water bottle by resting it on my thigh. it helps. x

Do you guys always get it at the same time as pelvic pain as well? Because at the moment leg pain is my only problem (i have had seperate symptoms of abnormal bleedings/back pain/pelvic pain etc) but this symptom is happening completely on its own :/ x

Yes, I get a flare up every 2 or 3months. It's so painful, I get lower back, pelvis pain and left thigh pain as I have two big cyst on my left ovary and one stuck behind my uterus which is giving me pain in my bowel even when I sit on a chair. It gets to a point when i cant walk as everything in my reproductive system feels like it's going to gush out like its pulling down. I go a&e after 5 days as pain killers do not work and they put me on oralmorpth which after a 7 days it disappears.

My last flare up was April, where sadly I was overdosed by the nurse under pressure and I had a cardiac arrest. But I have recovered. But yes you do get it with and without pelvis is pain.

I get it aswell! Mine is from inflammation compressing my sciatic nerve! It’s been better since my surgery but still a lot of pain.

Hi Peebles2sarah

Do you mind me asking how they diagnosed inflammation on your sciatic nerve? Did you also have endo lesions on your sciatic nerve? I've been refused an MRI 😩

Thank you
