Hello lovely people.I have 8cm right ovarian endometriosis for over 10 years now which never really caused me any problems ( thats why its still not out as doctor dont want to touch it as it not growing at all)

But after giving birth just over a year ago i started having left sided chest pain which radiets to the arm, also left sided pain just slightly under the ribs or sometimes in the stomach 🤷 i went on the hana pill just over a week ago as doctor advise , but just wondering if any of the you experienced anything like that, tonhave endo on the right ovary and get pains on the left side of upper body , just a bit confused 🤔

I have this chest/rib pain because of endometriosis on my diaphragm. Have you had a laparoscopy?

Hey Rosie, no i didnt doctors for some reason dont seem to relate my symptoms to anything to do with endo ( got rheumatology appointment on the 4th as they trying to find put if i have any autoimmune disease) which i seen my bloods results and they all normal apart from the elevated markers which is ussual for endometriosis 🤷its all so confusing.

I didn’t mention any chest symptoms to the GP, but diaphragmatic Endo was found during my diagnostic laparoscopy. If you have an Endometrioma then you have Endometriosis so they should be considering it as a cause of symptoms. In your place I’d be insisting on a laparoscopy.
