Heavy Achy Pelvis and Legs

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone else does or did get achy legs and a heavy pelvis with endo the week before their period? I had a lap and endo ablated in Jan this year but the pain has started to come back. The achy feeling is sometimes down to my calves and feet too.

Aah I feel for you! Hopefully they will be able to find out what's going on from the MRI. Yes, heat pads are a saviour.. I think I'm going to have to go back to my GP again for another referral.

Yes I get this a couple of days before period, it’s starts from hip right down to knee just on one side. The pain is unbearable can last anything from a couple of minutes to hours. Sometimes i can’t walk on it until pain eases, get breathless and feel nauseous. I’m waiting for a laparoscopy will be my first. I suspect something is irritating the nerves, I couldn’t be 100%. I hope you get to the bottom of it asap. Xx Take care xX

I have heavy and painful legs both right before and during my period. I also have pain in my legs knees ankles and feet all the time. Almost can’t walk sometimes. I get swollen around my waist during my period. It’s so tight and painful I had to cut all the waistbands off my underwear and only wear really baggie loose waist pants for a week. I have stage 4 endo.
