Endometriosis, scared and sad

by Jennifer
(Westminster, Colorado )

I was able to have one child with endometriosis but since then I have had 3 surgeries to remove it, and I am only 24 years old.

No birth control has worked for me. I have pain in the lungs, hips, legs, back, and abdomen. I also get headaches and it just keeps getting worse.

I am greatful for the child that I do have but wish to have another and I fear that this is no longer possible.

My periods are so painful that sometimes I get brought to the ground and cannot move... heat seems to help at times. Does anyone else know of other things that may help?

I'm an only child and both my cousins (who are sisters) have had a laproscopy and two of my aunts on either side of my mums family have had endometriosis affecting their bowels and lungs.

I'm 25 and desperate to conceive. I have pain during and after intercourse and my legs and chest pain terribly before and after I menstruate.

I'm overweight and always have been and all I really want is to be able to conceive and carry my baby to term

My hip hurts so bad a day or two before my period

by Anonymous

I have been struggling with this hip pain for decades, but it has gotten so bad in the last 2 years that I literally limp the week of my period and have difficulty walking at all the day or two before I start.

After my period starts, my pain is nearly back to baseline, and I have a normal 3 weeks or so, until the cramps and pain begin to become more severe. My husband actually noticed the coincidence that it happens with my menses. It is miserable and I have found NSAIDS like MOBIC work wonderfully and permit some relief. I have a normal MRI of my low back and pelvis, and most doctors think I am crazy when I describe this debilitating pain.

Diagnosed with endometriosis by chance

by Inara
(Brussels)

I had iron deficiency and was looking for reasons, f.ex myoma. Sonoscopy did not show any serious myoma but there was "free liquid". After 4 months it showed ovarian cyst of a size that needed to be removed.

During the operation they found some endometriosis between the uterus and bladder and the cyst had become "a kyste endometrique".

I did have strange pain lately but somehow blamed the cycle or thought that ovulation usually hurts. So far it had hurt once in two years.

My symptoms get worse as I age

by feritz

I am now at 35 year old. I feel pain in my pelvis and huge amount of blood loss during menstruation. I didn't consult ob-gyn yet but as medical background I have a hunch that this is endometriosis based on symptoms and pain. I hope you can give an advice

Have had gluteal pain for over a year

I have had gluteal pain for over a year. It is getting worse. I workout a lot and right now I am not able to play hockey or do other activities because of the pain. I have had it treated with ultrasound, laser, massage, ART, shockwave, acupuncture,PRP injection and nothing has helped. Today I found out that it could be caused from my endometriosis. My doctor put me on dienogest. I hope it helps because I need to be active and workout.

Does endo cause you to swell after sex - it doesnt hurt during ?

by Nikki
(Deadwood OR)

Hello, I have been told by my gyno that I might have endometriosis but is not giving me laparoscopy. I haven't had sex with my husband in a couple months, but after we did last nigt I swelled up in my abdomen especially around C section scar and sides. I have been swelling on/off and I was not swollen yesterday and felt fine, and then suddenly I swelled again.

I am so hopeless, I don't know if it could be adhesions pulling my organs together. I have been having pain in my left side love handle area, back to my lower back. Any help would be appreciated thanks

My symptoms are getting worse

by Shatyrra Reid
(Harrisburg, PA)

I began getting pelvic pain in 2010 ... in may 2011 I had a cyst removed from my right ovary and was diagnosed with endometriosis. After surgery I still was getting pelvic pain. I went in to have a cyst removed from the same ovary. I ended up having my right ovary removed because endometriosis covered that ovary. Its weeks after surgery and I am still getting that pain. My gyne said it will get better once I restart the depo lupron again.
