Hello! 

I have some questions about endo pain as I currently going through investigations on an ovarian cyst and am wondering if it's actually endo (and how to get a doctor to take my concerns seriously).

Does endo pain get worse during the day? My pain - lower right and middle abdomen pain is always worse in the evenings.

Does endo feel like a tugging? I often get a pain feeling like something is caught or pulled tight. 

Can endo pain last all month? I have the implant in my arm so I have no regular period pattern. 

Does pain down a leg indicate endo, or could that be from a cyst too? I get pain down my right leg and across the groin. 

Can endo cause pain higher up the tummy? 

I am waiting for an ultrasound to see if the cyst I had in July - found on a CT scan - is still there. I have been experiencing stomach pains since July 2013 and these have been diagnosed as IBS (C) after they simply ruled out ulcers. 

Any answers are appreciated. The pain is ridiculous and I just want to get better.

    A question for you does your pain get worse during your menstrual cycle? And there is an endometriosis which is a cyst of endometriosis on your ovary. Was just diagnosed with endometrioma after having a hysterectomy to remove cervix and uterus and it came back on my ovary,  now having surgery to remove right ovary. And all your symptoms were very similar to mine.

    Hi

    I am new to this and my pain is pretty constant, from the minute I wake up to when I go to sleep.

    My paid does also feel like a tugging feeling and sometimes I do get pains down one leg/thigh.

    Never had a cyst so I can't compare though sad

    Good luck xx

    Thanks for the replies. My ultrasound was clear of a cyst, so I don't know what happens now, given the pain is still there. I have a doctors appointment next week so we'll see what happens then I guess?

    Hi. I have endo but also suffer with adhesions. I have had 2 ops that have not helped. My pain is on my left side and it feels as though I have a really tight elastic band that is attached to the lower left pelvis and my knee.

    When ever I walk it gets worse and gets worse throughout the day the more movement I do. I'm pretty sure that this pain is down the the adhesions. Hope this help you find out what could be wrong x
