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.
Sorry you're so sick :(
I would agree with you on Alleve, but unfortunately it doesn't take the pain away for me and I'm allergic to Tylenol and most other pain killers :/ Thanks for your advice tho :)
On the hip pain...oh my...do I ever get the hip pain. Hip, lower back, uggg. I just sort of lean on the wall and slide myself down the hallway sometimes. As for all the bleeding, I don't know sister, I have heavy bleeding as well.
Hope your boyfriend is recovering well! The pain that only lasts for a few days are freakin horrible! I described them to my friend and she said that it sounds like labor pain.
There are other options that do help with heavy bleeding..but it wouldn't affect the pain. I have an IUD, and I thought my insides were being ripped apart Tuesday night. That's supposed to help with the bleeding...we'll see. I still want the dang thing out. Doesn't help with the endo though.
You're right, everything about this is rough. It sucks.
