Basically for some time now I have been experiencing pain in my pelvic area. I have painful and heavy periods. Back pain and leg pain. I have many other symptoms. After going going back and forth from hospital to doctors ive had a smear test, blood tests, urine samples, pelic and internal examination and a scan. I have finally been told I may have endometriosis. I am being sent for a consultation to see whether a laparoscopy or a hysteroscopy is better for me to have. My pain did go away for a couple week's but I thought id go the doctors just in case. Since being the doctors and being referred to the gyno my pain has come back. I feel like the boy who cried wolf. All though things are moving quicklyi just feel so ill all off a sudden and pain killers are not working. What can I do to ease the sickness, shivers and pains?

    I was the same and really needed to find something i could take to stop the pain, bloating, fatigue

    So i tried the POP pill (mini pill) which you take all the time and it has really helped the pain so much and given me my energy back, i never bloat anymore either so it is easier to exercise which they say helps too

    I do still get pelvic pain/ leg pain and fatigue around the time i would have a period if i wasn't on the pill but this pain is still no where near as painful as it was before and doesn't last as long

    I would recommend trying this

    sorry to know that you have endometriosis. and i also know that disease is painful and hard to cure. there is no good treatment can cure this disease totally. you can take pain killer or take herbal pill to cure this disease. hope this is helpful for you.

    Hello.

    First of all, from experience I advise a laparoscopy because they don't know how bad your endometriosis is untill they've done this. So you don't want to be having more invasive surgery if you don't need to.

    Are you on the contraceptive pill? I take mine 3 packs at a time, so 9 weeks and a week off. Recently I got told to just have 5 days off the pill. So technically I now take it fro 9 weeks and 2 days at a time. Then have 5 days off for a period.

    Don't do this yourself, ask your doctor/gyngy opinion.

    This has really helped me with pain.

    Keep your head held high, this also helps!
