How do you diagnose sciatic endo?

I have been to the doctor again today because the pain in my legs have just gone beyond. Nothing seems to be helping its ruining my life. My doctor has told me today that a laparoscopy would not diagnose endo on the sciatic nerve. So I asked how would it be diagnosed and she said she didnt know?

I've been waiting for my laprascopy since apr and I'm just going round in circles!

Hi there, have you had an MRI? Perhaps that would pick it up. Hope you get some relief soon. X X X

No I haven't had a reply, my dr said the physio needs to refer me for an MRI if he thinks it's necessary

Thank you for taking the time to reply x

I would have said laparoscopy but apparently I would have been wrong.

The best is to get an appointment with an extremely skilled excision surgeon and discuss this with him. I can provide a list of the best excision surgons working within the NHS in the UK.

Even if you got diagnosed clinically (just by describing symptoms), the biggest issue is treatment. How do you treat endo on the sciatic nerve? You definitely need to research this more. I suggest you look into the files on the Nancy Nook group on Facebook to find out more about this
