Hi Michelle...sorry i cant answer your question..but i wondered if you could shed some light on something. I had my 1st gyne appointment today and when i mentioned i get dreadful sciatic painjust before and during my menstral cycle i was told this has nothing tondo with endometreosis at all.And she could not understand or explain why i get this during my menstral cycle.I just wondered what experience you have had from this or doctors gynes you have spoken to

Me too.Exactly the same. I had a gyne appointment.and was told under no circumstances was sciatica relate to endo.Ladies on here have told me different.That they have had surgery to remove it.Really hope you have a good gyne appointment.I started off about the sciatica as a that is my first pain before period and when that was dismissed it kind of threw me.I would write evrything down before appoontment so that doesnt happen.Wishing you all the very best
