Does anyone have this symptom...aching calves?!

Hi Ladies,

Asking for some feedback...

8 weeks on from my 2nd Lap to remove stage 4 Endo and just had an appointment with my gynaecologist today. I advised him that I get aches in my calves (it’s like a restlessness, dull ache and similar to growing pains). He said this is not a symptom of Endo (he is an Endo specialist) however I only get the symptoms the same time as getting the burning in my abdomen, lower back pain. So I just wondered if any of you fellow Endo sufferers have experienced this or is it just me?!

Any input would be helpful 🙂 x x x

I suffer with random aches in my legs and restlessness which makes them jump it drives me insane my gp said it was lack of iron but I’ve been on iron tablets for 4 years so I think it’s endo related

Hi there, I get pains all down my legs and even to my feet. I'm not sure whether or not it is related. I have always felt it is. I was recently diagnosed stage 1 endo that's all but I did have some on the uterosacral ligaments and wondered if it was to do with that. It's such a strange disease isn't it? Hope you are feeling in otherwise after your lap. Xxx

Yes I get this but fully expecting my gyne to explain it's due to something else!

I get like growing pains in the top of my thighs and dragging dull pain all down my legs. Seems worse on my right side I think. Also in my lower back.

Again along with pelvic pain and dragging sensation in my abdomen.

Watch out for any change in colour, swelling, redness, it feels hot because of the risk of DVT
