Endo or just normal menstrual symptoms?

[Faithinhealth]

Hiya

So… heres my story. During my periods I usually get really bad vomiting and nausea followed with shoulder pain. I always thought this was normal after years of battling with my GP and being told that having a baby will sort it (sigh).

2 weeks ago I couldn’t move my right arm it was soooo bad I ended up in A&E. I did an xray then after 3 confused doctors they said I had tendonitis. I was really convinced but went with the diagnosis and self referred for a physio and been on painkillers. Then randomly today my left shoulder/ arm started aching soooo bad. I checked my Flo app and noticed that im due on in a week.

Went onto Google to get answer as to why this pain is soooo excruciating and now im here.

I think im going to go private with this one because I am 30years old and want to start a family soon

Anyone else experiencing anything like this??? Helpppp

I get shoulder pain with what I’m sure is endo. It’s referred nerve pain. Not saying that’s what you definitely have but I’ve had years of zero help with GPs and have finally gone private. I’m getting a lap at the end of the month to confirm endo. In my experience it’s definitely worth doing. I was on a waiting list to see a gynaecologist on the nhs which was over a year long. Phoned up my local private hospital and saw one in four days for £200. I didn’t even need my GP to refer me. The gynaecologist was extremely kind and helpful and offered to put me on his nhs waiting list for a laparoscopy but that was still 9 months so I’m paying for it privately. I hope you get it sorted x
