3/4 times a month I’m balling my eyes out when trying to sleep. Last night was by far the worse pain I’d had experienced I’ve been back and forth for 3 years to gp. Finally went private about a month ago they say endo & possibly pcos. I’ve been given naproxen/cocodamol 30/500 and multiple other painkillers the leg pain I’m 24 balling my eyes out screaming in pain and nothing takes the pain away. Elevating hot/cold I woke up this morning much less pain but my periods here what can I take to help with the leg pain. They say it’s all related I’m at my wits end before my op xx

HI

Sorry you're going through this, at least you have some sort of answer, kind of helps in an odd way. Nerves were effected with mine, having seen the pain consultant he suggested Amitriptyline, it seems to be helping a little, but takes a few weeks. I also have oramorph on standby. Had to take some today as been moving stuff around.

Speak to GP about pain relief and maybe ask for a referral to the pain clinic. The pain nurse at A&E gave me Tramadol at the time to take away, she said this worked better than codeine or co-codamol.

When do you have lap? Is this private or NHS.

Keep in mind that it might be muscular and not linked, but you will be aware if you've done anything that could have pulled a muscle.

I’m going to make an appointment with the GP to chat through pain relief as when went to gynacology they said it’s on the lead up to my preriod and when I’m ovulating the pain as I had kept notes.. it’s just so painful and nothing take it away, I’ve had xrays on my legs for broken bones and all muscles and ligaments checked. Just so weird how it can all match up! Supposed to be around November time private xx

🤞 for GP, let us know how you get on.

November isn’t too far. Quite a while for private. It’ll help to know what’s going on

You may have sciatic nerve endo. This is a rare form of endo. But leg and foot pain is common.
