post op pain flare up

hey, I’ll be 3 months post op on the 14th of Dec. They said they removed a lot of dead endo tissue, some alive Endo tissue and a cyst on my ovary.

Most of the dead endo tissue is on my left side, like my intestines and gut areas.

Idk if this is a dumb question, but when they say ‘dead endo tissue’, that’s scaring right ? So that won’t go away ? I keep having pain flare ups at the moment where the dead tissue is on my left, which is where my worst pain always was before.

I’m so tired and this pain flare up is probs due to being under some stress about life and a job interview I have this week. Does anyone else get this ? Will it calm down or is this it ? I kinda figured the surgery would help with that pain but I’m starting to think that because it’s scar tissue from old live endo, the pain will always be there ?

Thank you in advance xx

Hey I’m so glad I’m not the only one suffering with this. I’m coming up to a month post op and I have had flares up again when I was hopeful the surgery would stop that. I get pain where I used to have it on my right hand side as they couldn’t remove it from my fallopian tube. So now I’m like will I keep getting pain here or is it just my body trying to recover still. Like you the fatigue is unreal as I get to half past three on a week day as back at work and I feel done in by then. I was hoping to go back full time after the Christmas break but I’m not sure my body will be able to take it.

Do you have a follow up appointment or anyone you could ring to check if this is expected or what to do next?

Hope your job interview went well and you get some pain relief soon.
