Hi, i was just looking for some advice i've been on the GNRH injections for nearly 9 months now and last month i had my first 3 monthly injection. Over the past week i have had increasing pain, nausea, tenderness and haven't been able to manage the pain with normal paracetamol, has anyone else had this and has anyone had a recent 2nd lap that could advise me to how i would go about sorting this?

TIA

The injections should only be given for a max of 6 months but are only intended to help with pain and they don't stop endo growing. I don't know if you know how severe your endo was at your previous lap as they aren't usually effective for severe disease. You would need to be referred to a specialist endo centre if that was the case. Your GP should refer to the NICE guideline:
