Things aren't getting better!

I'm really struggling at the moment. I am due at end of April for my 3rd Endo surgery and my gynae thinks it could of spread inside my bladder. I'm constantly in pain and I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm sure there must be something else going on, I am constantly fatigued, can't stand up for longer than 10 minutes without needing to sit down.

Anyone else feel like what's the point?

Hi, I’m sorry to hear you’re in so much pain. Have you spoken to your GP about pain management?

Hi I haven’t gotten that bad (yet) but I feel for you and wanted to reach out. I’ve only had one endo surgery I can’t imagine 2 or 3 but I’ve read on here many who have. I would just ensure the person doing the surgery is very well versed on removing all the endo tissue so you don’t need a fourth surgery any time soon. I also second the suggestion of pain management. I only have ibuprofen and heating pads but I’m only in pain, although excruciating at times, for 3-4 days per month. Not every day. I would have to quit my job. And I wouldn’t be able to care for my son. Which leads me to ask: do you have support? Emotionally? Financially? Just want to send my well wishes to you.
