Prostap pain

I had the prostap injection 3weeks ago tomorrow and have asked advice earlier as I was suffering immensely from the side effects but the hrt has kicked in and these have subsided a little. However the pain in my pelvis and back is beyond imaginable and I'm not sure if this is normal as I know it makes Endometriosis worse before it gets better with the oestrogen however I literally feel like admitting myself into hospital and refusing to leave until I have my laparoscopy as it isn't until August and I'm can't carry on like this. I've got 3 children and am back at work next week after 4months off so I really need to get better. I've had Endometriosis for 20 years and recently got diagnosed with adenomyosis. The endo was on my bowel 12 years ago and it is most likely on my bladder bowel and pelvis as the symptoms are unbearable when I go to the toilet and daily. Currently taking tramadol and paracetamol and having to use oromorphe too so surely this should be working?

Hey!

I would try to stay away from the tramadol if you can! It's hard to come off if you use it for over a week!

Not what you're looking for?
