Endo & leg pain

Morning all,

I have endo 1st diagnosed 7 years ago, my last laproscopy was in September 2022, where i was told it had spread.

My last cycle was horrendous, a whole new level of pain.

I get leg pain but nothing like i experienced last week.

It started with the feeling of pins an needles starting at my groin in my left leg and moving downwards towards my knee. By the end of the day my whole leg felt numb but with severe shooting pains up n down the top half of my thigh. I also got sharp stabbing pains in my bottom. I was unable to walk. Left me bed bound for 2 days an on my strongest meds which didn't take the edge off at all.

I was told it has spread close to my nerves, is this whats causing it? If so has anyone got any recommendations to te and relieve the pain? I can't do that every month.

I am seeing the hospital on Tuesday to see an endo specialist.

Many thanks in advance

I had left leg pain that spread from groin down and occasionally felt numb. I also had shooting pain where thigh meets pelvis when I lifted it. It got better when a left sided endometrioma was removed. Maybe worth getting an ultrasound?
