The pain oh the pain!

[valgal76]

I am at this minute in pain from my endometriosis. Today it is affecting my right and bit of my left pelvic area. It feels like a hot burning poker is prodding my pelvic area and then pulling the tissue down. I've tried a piece of ice wrapped with a towel to numb it, but nothing works. Does anybody have any suggestions on what to do in the house when it is painful?????. I couldn't think of anything else. Yes, i've taken some painkillers, but today its just mindblowing the pain!. I wish i had a pina colada, maybe that would numb my pelvic area!!!!! or my legs!!!!

Hi valgal76, so sorry to hear you are in so much pain! I usually use heated rice in a sock, it doesn’t take the pain away but it feels better! 🤞

Sorry to hear you're in a lot of pain at the moment. Some people find a hot water bottle or heated wheat bags provides a little relief. Otherwise you could look at getting/hiring a TENS machine, which some people find very effective. They're not suitable for anyone with a heart condition, but it would be worth a try.

Really hope the pain subsides soon for you x

I'm having this exact pain today 🤦‍♀️ so sorry you're suffering too.I have a heat blanket or hot water bottle which can help. Although nothing is today. So far I've taken Tramadol 50mg, paracetamol x 2 and medical cannabis oil. 😔😥 Hopefully it wont last too long but in my experience it lasts a couple of days.

Hope you start to feel better soon

Hi, i'm not on tramadol, maybe i should be. But anyway i've got the 30/500 codeine and paracetomal dissolvable tablets, so they help, but that day i was in awful pain. Yet today i've been totally fine so far. It dosn't like to tell you in advance when its going to start, i wish it did! x

A bath with muscle soak helps me so much with some eucalyptus gets all my senses going and can be distracting for some time also relaxes you. Hope you feel better soon
