pain with coughing

[velvetonion]

does anyone else with endo get like a horrid sharp stabbing pain in their abdomen when they cough sometimes or just clear their throat? its not every time or every day but GOD it hurts, its like always on one side or the other of my lower tummy, not really the middle. have had this for a while and just wondered if its just me or if its endo related

could be Endo/adhesions pulling, if it continues though worth checking out. The trouble with Endo it can produce different symptoms and other things get missed. You know your body well.

yeah, i wasnt sure if it was something else but its literally only ever in my lower abdomen, like near one of my hipbones sort of like in the ovary or appendix area and on the other side too if that makes sense, its not like a chest or lung pain so i thought thats what it might be! thanks! ill mention it to my nurse when i have my pre op next month

Ask surgeon to remove adhesions as well as Endo. Surgeon or GP would be better to ask. You’ll see the surgeon on the morning of the op 🙂

I get this too, it’s horrible isn’t it! Do you get it when you sneeze as well?

Worth mentioning to gynae or a gp xx

I get this, especially when ovulating. Sometimes I cant even stand up straight x

I get a pain like that in my lower back, does it count as the same? Joys of endometriosis! 😅

I get this too! Plus every time I sneeze, & sometimes just by moving. It's usually down by my right ovary, but can be both sides or in the middle. Used to think it was adhesions but have none down my right side, & apparently less endo down that side than on my left (waiting for excision surgery). My other theory is ovarian cysts as I know I'm prone to them. Otherwise no idea. Endo specialist hasn't been able to give me any answers.

Me too, everytime I cough or sneeze when I have a pain flare up it hurts! I dread getting a cold, when I cough or sneeze I have to lean forward (everyone thinks I'm trying not to wee myself) as it relieves some of the tension, definitely mention it at your next appointment

I get this and you’re right it does really hurt. Sometimes hurts with sneezing too. I’ve always put it down to the adhesions plus very damaged ligaments due to severe disease. Often worse on left side than right.

I get this too and it can be very painful.

Back to basics here. Our diaphragms have muscular attachments to the pelvis so when you cough it will pull across the pelvic region and back- depending on your core, lesions and adhensions you’ll feel it in different spots.
