Pain after menopause
Hi all, I haven't been around for a few years. A brief back story. I had always suffered from painful heavy periods, since 16 years old. Numerous visits to the doctors over the years, being told it was normal or later on as I got into my 40s being told it was to do with the menopause, I finally got

Thanks gang
Just a big thank you for all the good wishes. I had at least five hours sleep last night and since 8 am have been easing off on the painkillers. Now down to gently niggle with occasional stabs so hoping another good night should see us over the worst. Still no idea what I did but time seems to be

endometriosis ?
for the last few years I have had sharp stabbing groin pain moving down my upper thigh and sometimes to my foot. I get sensitivity to touch on my thighs when I have flares which happen during ovulation and before my period. I also have stabbing upper abdominal pains (no pattern to the abdominal pain)

I have the complication of having a chronic back condition which means I am in pain all the time. I take gabapentin and co codamol and also recently ralvo patches. Last year and earlier this year, I suffered a heart attack, so now cannot take any kind of anti inflamatory. My GP worked with me last year

The MRI scan
Hello, As you're all so kind in answering my many questions, I just thought I'd update on the MRI scan (pelvis) and hopefully if anyone who is awaiting their first one is reading, give some insights. Firstly, making sure to have no metal clasps on clothes was helpful so no need to get changed into

A and E Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh.
Woke up at 5 am Sunday morning with severe pain under right shoulder blade which remained all day despite maxing out on paracetamol. In the evening I dug out some codeine tablets I had for sciatica last year and added those with similarly little improvement. Monday was more of the same except by now

tooth extraction
my problem still hasn’t gone 😞. It’s been 3 weeks since my tooth extraction and it got infection .. hfmd has bin and gone but the toothache seems to be there still! Can it spread to other teeth? Coz I feel like the pain has spread to teeth on that side. Still have to take painkillers. Made an emergency

Is there any way of saying "Enough", I do not want to receive anymore medical care or medications, they are doing me more harm than good!
The medication I am receiving is causing me more pain than anything else! It is getting worse, more endless appointments, more reactions, more pain, getting ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE! I just want to stop all this treatment, just bare survival medication, I have at least three life threatening conditions, medications

Pain medication advise - Gabapentin
Firstly, I understand no one can give medical advice. But any help in the right direction would be gratefully received. I have a knee replacement followed by a manipulation last week. I didn't get to speak to the surgeon afterward but my discharge notes said I needed adequate pain relief. I am struggling

Coping with the pain
Hi Guys, Hope everyone's having a good a day as they can. Ever since my lap in July 2 2and diagnosis of endo stage 3 with cysts. The pain has been horrendous, much worse than it was before. I've repeatedly gone back to my drs to ask for pain relief or some help in anyway. Apparently they never

private vs endo centre?
hi, I’m in the fortunate position of having private healthcare through work. I had likely adenosis and long standing deep infiltrating endometriosis identified through an MRI about 9 weeks ago. Initially I said no to surgery (because I was a hit shocked on the call and didn’t know anything about it)

Amitryptiline
Dr has prescribed amitryptiline saying they now use it for sleep and
pain
management
. Since I started this 4 days ago I have been worse. I feel so tired all the time, have no energy and there is no change in the pain. I also think it's made my anxiety worse.

I had NO FIBRO PAIN while I had Covid. Significant?
Dear Community! I got Covid recently, and had NO FIBRO PAIN for 6 weeks. Similar for other viruses I had in the past. Has anyone else noticed this? Could be significant for a future treatment? I'm desperate to find something to help the chronic pain. Fibro affects every aspect of my life. Some days

Looking for guidance
Hi everyone, Sorry if this is a super long post. To give some back ground, I started having very painful periods in 2015 when I came off the contraceptive pill at 20 years old. I came off because I have a breast cancer risk on both sides of my family and I felt that taking the pill was unnecessarily

I know everyone is different but I had my op last Thursday and the consultant says it has gone well. I had a patch on overnight which was taken off the following morning when I went for a check up. My eye felt sore and achy but really not bad enough to take painkillers. My vision is a little blurry

Medications causing mouth ulcers?
Hi there, I’m on 9 different medications: Dapagliflozin, Bisopropolol, Aspirin, Clopidogrel, spironolactone, warfarin, atorvostatin, lanzrapole and ramipril and I’ve been taking them since late April following a HA. I’ve felt generally well apart from fatigue but in the last 6-8 weeks have developed

Experience pain due to endometriosis?
Pain during menstruation is a typical symptom of endometriosis. And some patients will experience abdominal pain in menstrual period, and the pain will be more severe with the advent of menstruation. Some patients can not even have a normal life because of pain. So, active treatment is important. A
