Endo & Pelvic Adhesions

Hi all, I'm a newbie to this site although i have had endo for over 30 years. At my initial diagnosis, i was stage 4. 10 years ago I had a sub-total hysterectomy (they could not remove my cervix as it was stuck to my bladder with endo cysts). Since then, on and off, i have a spot in my lower right side of my abdomen that "fires up" when any exercise is done or long walks etc. I previously enquired about this and was told i had scar tissue/pelvic adhesions.

The problem I have now is that the pain is so severe it is affecting my daily quality of life. I have just had an appointment with my GP who, once again, is referring me back to the hospital but I just feel like this is not being taken seriously. I was at a gig 2 weeks ago and genuinely nearly ended up in A&E due to the pain i was having as a result of a 20 minute walk to the gig. Any form of exercise, walking the dog etc and I need to take painkillers as it fires up.

Has anyone else been through this and what would you recommend? Thanks all.

Are you being referred to the same hospital? Could they refer you somewhere else to see if that helps? Or maybe go private just for further imagery to start off with? x
