Severe onset pain this morning

[CLT05]

Hi all, hope you are keeping well!

I as woken up this morning by severe cramping pain in my stomach and pelvis area, making me feel really sick and headachey, also couldn't stand straight and doubled over when walking with pain down my legs. Took some pain killers and pain seems to have eased off now but still a tight/crampy feeling in my stomach and pain on the right side of my womb and achy legs.

Was just wondering if anyone knew what it could be, and if anyone else has experienced the same, or any advice? Considering booking an emergency phone call with the doctor if it gets worse again but a bit wary to do so with everything going on at the moment!

If it is that bad speak to your doctor or someone. My pain has been bad this week, but I spoke to my doctor this morning, he is at home unwell (in isolation) but still took the time to help me (so so grateful to him).

Hello I get horrendous pains in my stomach and the only thing that helps is codeine. It’s strong, it knocks me out, it takes the edge off the pain. Don’t know if you have been prescribed these? Hope it’s starting to ease a little for you. Xx

Thank you! Managed to speak to my doctor and he said just to keep my fluids up for now as new guidance in the current situation says not to go into the surgery unless vital, so he said if I get worse to ring the surgery back and he'll call me in for an examination, fingers crossed the pain eases 😊 if not hopefully he will give me codeine! Xx

Definitely and you could always ask him as i now get it on my prescription so I have it immediately when pain starts. I also get the pain for a few days and then it disappears for a while x

Ah okay thank you, might try that x

Hi

I wake up with similar pain to what you are describing. It’s in my right pelvis & shoots down my right leg.

I mentioned it to my consultant & he wasn’t concerned.

I’m on gabapentin & it’s the only thing that has worked for me - along with hot baths & hot water bottles.

Hope your pain eases. I totally empathise!

I’ve just read your previous posts & realised you haven’t actually been diagnosed.

You really have to be assertive & ask for an ultrasound in case you have a cyst (I have on my right ovary) and insist on a laparoscopy ASAP as this is the only way to confirm endometriosis.

I had to battle to be treated - I was in so much agony I was determined not to be fobbed off!

Good luck. No one should put up with such awful pain.

Hi, yes I keep trying to push for a diagnosis and will keep pushing until I get one! Thank you, hope you are well
