Hip/leg pain

2 months post op and my pains aren’t great surrounding my periods. I get cramping which has always been my normal but alongside this, I’ve had a lot of pain when needing to go to the toilet. I was told I have bowel endo but that they removed it all. Was hoping to have some time without pain.

Along with this, my pelvic / hip pain is back but feels so much worse after not having it for 2 months. My hips are sore and my legs feel so painful and restless. Half putting it down to my endo/adeno but also the heat/stress from work.

Just so fed up😭

Hi singingelephant, Go see your GP to check your symptoms. Adhesions could be causing you some trouble where the endometriosis was, but there is no way to know without further investigations.

From my personal experience, I had my laparoscopy in lockdown and I think that I rested at an angle or for too long, and now my right hip constantly hurts when sitting or bending. My doctor referred me for some blood tests, the gynaecologist (though the waiting list is long), the Orthopaedics (also a long waitlist) and physio. I'm not the best at doing my exercises but the physio does seem to help. I might have just weakened my muscles around my hip whilst protecting the painful area in my pelvis post-op. I find it difficult to explain my symptoms sometimes so I try to write everything down in bullet points and talk through them with my GP. Perhaps this could help as you have many things going on and hopefully your GP is as active as mine was.
