    • Close Endometriosis

      I had been having abdomen pain for at least 6 months now and have always had problems with ovarian cysts. Recently after many emergency visits, one doctor had mentioned that all my pain was probably due to endometriosis. I had been through countless tests for other issues and always came back normal. I recently just had my laparoscopy surgery and I had had complications after. I still don't know exactly what my gyne dr but will find out wed. I am still having pain!

      Treatments

      Ibuprofen Not Working
      It didn't take the pain or cramps away at all.
      Laparoscopic Surgery Too Soon to Tell
      I had two previous lapo's. 1st was to see is I was having an eptopic pregnancy, I didn't it was a cyst and of course it ruptured 2nd was for a "looksy" and a tubal ligation and the 3rd was to determine if I had endometriosis and I did.
      Naproxen Not Working
      it does not help me at all
      Oral Contraceptives Not Working
      The Birth control pill never did help with my cysts and I always had my chronic pain with it.
      Oxycodone Working / Worked
      it does help with the pain but I don't like the side effects
      Surgery Too Soon to Tell
      still in alot of pain alot of bruising and my abdomen is so sore to the touch, my abdomen is swollen and the right more so and my gyne dr is a little concerned that is why I am taking the naproxen.
    • Close Chronic Pain

      i have been having severe abdominal pains for a few months now and just recently I had a laparoscopy to remove ovarian cysts and endometriosis well my pain is back and it may have to do with abdomen muscle/wall and stomach muscle/wall may have to go to a pain clinic soon but will know more on May 5th
