Endometriosis Support Group
Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.
Hi ladies,
I was wondering if I could bother any of you for some advice. Last night I was sitting watching t.v., and I started to feel a little bit of pain coming on. I tried to give it a little while to see if it would level out, but it kept getting worse. I decided to go and get my heating pad, and I made it to the bottom of the steps and I hit the ground. I could not physically stand up the pain was so bad. I eventually crawled up the steps and made it to my room, and stayed in a fetal position the whole night. I couldn't even stand to put my pajamas on or anything. I woke up this morning exactly where I laid down last night.
The pain was on my left side kind of by my hip bone, but a little above. It felt like I was being stabbed over, and over again. Every once in a while it would go to a bad cramp-like pain. My left leg ached horribly too. All the way down to my toes.
Today I keep getting sharp twinges of pain, but it's more or less a dull ache, and my leg is killing me. I looked at a calendar I keep, and the last time this happened it was right around ovulation also-but it was nowhere near this bad.
I don't have insurance, so I can't go to the doctor. Quite frankly, you ladies are much more helpful anyway. :) Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your help! :)
Make sure you keep an eye on your temp, if it is an infection you'd probably develop a fever and then you'd definitely have to see a doc.
Best of luck, sweetie. We understand=)
kDeezy-My stomach and abdomen are just uncomfortable. Any type of pressure at the moment is awful.
Felana-No temp or anything, so I think it's gradually getting better.
Pup-Thank you for the kind words. :)
