Sorry if this is depressing 😞
I feel trapped. I had my laparoscopy surgery in February and I was diagnosed with endometriosis. Since the surgery my pain has leveled up, it’s so much worse and it’s throughout the month, not just when I’m on my period anymore. I feel trapped by this illness, I have maybe one week out of the month where

how do you deal with the bad days?
hi all, diagnosed with endo last November after a laparoscopy after about 14 years of symptoms and pain. Even though I’m glad to have the clarity about what the issue is as the uncertainty was awful, some days I just feel so sad and down that this is my future. I still have a lot of pain and especially

Disappointed and worried
Hi, Finally, i had my appointment with a Rheumatologist consultant. I went through my history of pain, I was initially diagnosed with PMR in sept last year by G.P who started me on 15mg Prednisolone, and a miracle happened. I also explained that unfortunately, I have been unable to successfully reduce

Broken right clavicle, 2011, even now shoulder blade pops out, and...
In 2011 I had a seizure, and 'hurt' my shoulder, went down to A&E and had it X-rayed, gave me a couple of pain killers, 'pushed' me off home,🙄 and went back to watching a certain royal wedding, 6 days later, they rang me back telling me to come back, showed me the x-ray and indeed had broken clavicle

My father died after spending 2 weeks in a coma due severe sepsis and multi organ failure. I love him so much.
He spent a week in ICU at his local hospital where he was extremely poorly and he briefly stopped breathing during a routine nursing manoeuvre, but recovered by himself without any resuscitation it was then when they put him into coma (intubated and given propofol and fentanyl) and moved him to an ICU

Pain management
Any tips on how to manage pain without resorting to painkillers please. I have painkillers but rarely use them and want to keep it that way. I have a very sore left arm which is far less painful when I mould it to my body and keep it inactive. Thank goodness I am right handed. Doc is looking into it.

I have been experiencing pancreatic pain for 6 mos now. Have been to the ED 5 times in that time period. I thought I knew what pain was with my lower back issues - but I was unfortunately mistaken. During these acute pancreatic episodes - the best way to describe the pain is to say that I was out of

Effective pain relief
Hi all,I was diagnosed with endometriosis back in December 2023 they ablated it during the laproscopy I recovered well but now I am back in a lot of pain :( I get the pain mostly in my pelvic area and right flank. I started to think the right flank pain was maybe coming from my kidney as I've had issues

Don't know what to do?
Hi all, I'm 41 and never had painful periods up until 2 periods ago. The awful pain is everyday not just on my period so I feel like I've got period cramps all day every day. Some day I'm ok and pain free maybe 2 a week. I had a vaginal ultrasound and only showed a small fibroid it had reduced from

Pain Spreading/Getting Worse
I am on a wait list for
pain
management
through the NHS, but likely won't get an appointment date for another month. I was prescribed pregablin two days ago, but have not started it as I am worried about getting addicted to it. I can barely sit anymore. Standing is agony too.

Unreal letter from the hospital!
I've been waiting to hear if they'll give me physiotherapy or mental health care or

... just something! And all the letter says is 'we are aware you are an out patient in this department. If you wish to stay on our list you must phone the number in the next 14 days.
