Constant uncomfortable feeling

I'm hoping anyone out there can reach out. I was diagnosed with endometriosis 10 years ago and had 3 laparoscopies with the last one removing my left ovary and tube over 3 years ago. For the past month or so the pain is gradually getting worse. I'm worried that this will be the norm as its feels too long to be a flare up. There's so much pressure around my lower abdomen and it's got to the point of if I pressure on the left side, something feels like it's pulling across to the right. Even going to the toilet is uncomfortable.

I've been to the doctors and they've given codeine but I'm honestly struggling now. I'm having an ultrasound as last surgery, they found endo on my bowel. I can't keep relying on a tens machine or heat pack.

Is anyone experiencing anything similar? I've always said I won't be beaten by this but it's affected work now.

Hi

How are you feeling?

Did they remove the Endo from the bowel? You might have adhesions as well pulling at organs.

Diclofenac suppositories are a great anti inflammatory and Oramorph is better than codeine, liquid works better.

It’s good you are having an ultrasound, hopefully they’ll check all over, but maybe an MRI would be better. Don’t let anyone just assume Endo.
