Posted for the first time over a month ago and recently had trab surgery on my left eye Tues 26th. Surgery was not the most pleasant of experiences but necessary and the pressure was down to 8 the next day from a high of 38 so good news so far.

I know I have to stop my Apixaban 48 hours before surgery. Just this silly niggle about undergoing a general anaesthetic now I’m on diltiazem, flecainide, gabapentin, atorvostatin and other analgesics. I know everything will be alright but it just seems a lot going on there.

I had laparoscopic surgery remove my endometriosis in December 2020. I’ve noticed over the past 8 months that my symptoms are getting bad again and seem to be worse than before my surgery.

I don’t want to go through this radical surgery if it’s not going to improve the pain. Is it best just to have the endo treated via surgery first then see how it goes before full hysterectomy? Anyone had this treatment done? Advise would be welcome.
