Hello,
First post. Joined today! I have been back and forth to gynae since 2018 with severe pelvic pain. In 2021 the consultant said he was convinced endometriosis fit the symptoms; told me to get a mirena coil. The waiting list for the coil was a year. I had it put in in september 22nd 2022 and removed 11 days later - no scan. Just in extreme agony with it.
Since then my pain was been ‘managed’ with a mixture of pills and I am prescribed 100mls of oramorph as and when required. (Which is monthly!)
Yesterday I saw gynae again and the lovely consultant had immediately suggested surgery. She had thoroughly looked through my notes, and was super kind and helpful. A bit miffed that they didn’t scan me to check the coil had been inserted correctly before taking it out but very lovely.
And now it’s a waiting game for the appointment for surgery…
Just wondered if anyone could enlighten me with their experience of the surgery and wondered if anyone else is taking an opioid to get through their period each month? As i’m a little concerned.
Thanks!
