lower back pain

[Racheyt]

Hey! I’m 4 weeks post op and since my op my back pain has been worse than before. I had laparoscopy btw with removal of endometriosis tissue and adhesions. I’ve been taking paracetamol, ibuprofen and codeine. Totally is particularly worse and my period tracker app is telling me that I’m at ovulation stage so could it be something to do with cycle timing? I also had a couple of drinks last night and wondering if that has caused inflammation and I need to try an AIP diet (just not ready for it on the approach to Christmas). Anyone experienced lower back pain post laparoscopy before? I’ve had back pain before but it’s never been this bad.

Hey, sorry to hear your suffering. I was excalty the same after my laparoscopy. My back pain is so much worse especially at ovulation and period time. I've now got marks on my back from all the hot water bottles I've use to try and relive the pain and was on Cocodimols and naproxen. My gyno has now prescribed laocaine patches to try and help and physio. So far not really helped much but had MRI 3 weeks ago to see what is going on. I'm 9 months post op so feel your pain.

I would suggest you let your gyno know your suffering . See if maybe another medication can help or investigations

Xx

I’m going to go get some Cocodamol and naproxen and try those. It might be too soon post op for any further investigation as still in the healing process so will give it some more time. Thanks for replying ❤️‍🩹
