Has anyone found any pain relief to be effective? I’ve tried so, so many and there’s not much left for me to try. I have a brilliant GP who is always happy to listen so I thought if anyone had found anything effective, then I could always suggest it. Currently prescribed naproxen and diclofenic suppositories. However, the problem is that you can’t take the two together so if I think a flare up might be coming (most days currently) then I can’t take the naproxen to take the other. But you can also only use the diclofenic for 3 days. Tried everything before such as codeine, tramadol, pregablin to name just a few. Plus others!
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I really feel for you as in a similar position. Even morphine didn't help. The only thing that works is a plug in heat pad. They are so good that I have types. One that was recommended on here, which is a wearable one.I've started cbd oil and flaxseed oils to try and help with the inflammation. Rasberry leaf tea helps a bit too.
Hi, have you asked your gp or gynaecologist for a referral to a pain management specialist with endometriosis it is a right to see a pain management specialist. The gp only has a limited amount of drugs they can prescribe but a pain management specialist can prescribe so much more and in higher doses if needed and in different types like patches for constant release. It is worth asking, I went private because the wait was too long via the nhs but everyone with endometriosis has the right to be referred to a pain management specialist so I would ask your gp if you haven’t already.
Hi! I asked about the pain management but they got so caught up in discussing the medication, I’m not sure it got sorted! I’ll ask again though, I have another appointment soon. They prescribed some more called Flurbiprofen at quite a high dose, so will give it a go. Only trouble is, the local pharmacy have struggled to get hold of it so hoping they’ll have it in tomorrow. X
I use 3 different ones. I got the pad from Argos first, then bought the belts. They are all really good and help loads. I would highly recommend all 3. I really hope the pain calms down soon xx
Thank you so much, I’m going to look into these, heat is about the only thing that can make me feel a little more comfortable so it’s definitely worth a go. X
