Ive asked before but i have to ask again because im going a bit loopy doopy . Has anybody ever experienced a pulling, pushing stabbing type of pain in upper left abdomen just below the ribs? GP feels it could very likely be adhesions, he cant feel anything. Have any of you lovely ladies had endo in this area? Im stage 4 waiting for hysterectomy appointment!!

I often find it difficult to accurately describe endo pains jalo69. Plus there's no set pattern as they vary from one sufferer to another. I liken them to being stabbed by a knitting needle and sometimes its like being punched very hard. Oh and there's also the strong throbbing feeling that you think something will burst.

Hope you dont have too long to wait for your surgery date, xx

Thankyou LittleMissManx, im very familiar with some of these. My head unfortunately plays mind games and i get myself into a frenzy thinking i have something else,if you know what i mean? I have had 4years of this worrying,since diagnosed and its aging me!! Does this sound familiar or am i a neurotic worry head?? More wine needed hic! ;)xx

Thanku Bandit1511, my gp is great but like you i seem to be a boomarang and i often think he must think he cann't get rid of me. So reluctant to go back again am hoping this pain is endo related. Xx j
