Hi ladies just thought I'd let you know since Dec 19 lap didn't work even tho they found & removed endo in the POD I'm waiting on another referral the waiting is hell again, the symptoms got worse I now have constant pain in my lower legs now and my arms ache and aching at the back of the neck & shoulders, I'm getting sent for blood tests I'm I right in thinking this is not due to endo?? I don't need more c**p, sick of been a couch potato already, feeling sorry for myself today, sorry for the rant xx

Sorry it’s still causing issues, I know how you feel.

If you haven’t had one ask GP to refer you for MRI to save time when you see gynae. At least they can check for most things and endo can show up sometimes if it’s there.

It’s good to have other tests to rule things out.

Why do they have to refer, could you not go directly?

When I had the lap in Dec she said I'm discharged now so if I get anymore problems to go see GP I did say " what so I have to go through all this again" and she said yes, charming hay 🙄 at the time I just wanted to get out, so I just said ok. Crazy how they think your cured once the laps finished, I had no check ups or anything afterwards, I feel fobbed off to be honest. Xx

Not surprised you feel that way, I would. There should have been a follow up.

If it was a BSGE centre there is supposed to be a couple of follow ups. I’m going to see how that pans out
