Zoledex injection 2

[Chartolfrey]

Hi all so im had zoledex jab number 2 on tuesday and wednesday i had a major flare up and now im writing this at 3am with another major flare up.I was in A&E wednesday as the pain was so bad but after tests i was told it was uti and carry on. I was told the paind anyway by my endo nurse would get worse before better but at week 4 did anyone else get alot of pain.

I was put on hrt tiberlone tuesday aswell as after about 2 weeks started with menopause effects.

Im waiting for a full hysterectomy as i had a lap in january and told its severe endo, had mri in march and been told i have severe endo/ado, fibroid in the womb, 2x 5cm endemetriomas 1 on each ovary and kissing ovariesm

I find my pain worse since the lap surgery but these last few days are the worst

The injection stimulates the ovaries first then calms down. It usually takes around 3 months on average to completely calm and work (although I'm still bleeding in month 5). The tibilone is very low dose HRT to protect your bone mass. The introduction of estrogen may be why you are flaring up. It should settle. I had excruciating pain after second injection - I thought the endometrioma had burst - but it went away. Don't do anything to add to the inflammation. Don't drink alcohol and I'd cut back on grains. Try not to be stressed as this makes it worse. Xxx

Hi Chartolfrey,It is really weird the side effects that come with Zoladex. I have had my 3rd injection and still bleeding. Back pain has reduced but lingers or flares whenever.

I am waiting for a hysterectomy too. I am severly tired. The doc says it part of the effect of zoladex. I am also on Norethisterone and the Mirena. I am just taking one day at a time. It seems there's not much the doctors can do?

I continue with mindful nutrition and exercise when I have the energy.

I am sorry your pain is increasing. I will say keep the doctors informed, take care of yourself as much as you can🙏💛
