Leg pain and stiffness?????

10 Replies

Hello all,

I am currently on the waiting list for a lap as my gynecologist thinks I may have endo (all my symptoms and suffering point to it plus I have a history of it in my family) I am currently having extreme pain and stiffness in BOTH legs which causes me difficulty walking and can also cause pins and needles in my feet, has anyone else experienced this problem?

Many thanks

Sorry to hear that you’re in this amount of pain. Hopefully you get your lap soon. I get pain all the way down both legs. My gynecologist thinks it’s because of interstitial cystitis and this is the cause for my pain rather my than my endo. But I feel your pain, so I hope you get a resolution soon

Thank you so much, I'm thinking perhaps I might call my g.p and ask too as the lower back pain is also getting worse and is causing bad constipation. Feeling like a loosing battle at this point. Have you found anything to help with the leg pains?

Hi - so sorry to hear about your pain. I have endo and get bad leg pain too. I find that elevating my legs works the best - as well as making sure they're warm ( blanket / hot water bottle etc) xxx

My first symptoms included leg pain. I use ibuprofen a tens unit and heating pad. Put my legs up and rest.

Hello. I get severe lower back and hip pain which then travels down my legs giving me pins and needles and leaving my skin feeling very sensitive to the touch. I find keeping the area warm helps - warm shower, warm comfy clothing and a hot water bottle.
