I'm so sorry you're in so much pain right now. What are you taking for pain relief? If it isn't working, you should go back to see your doctor...nobody should have to suffer with that level of pain! Hope you feel better soon :)

Sorry your in so much pain Megan, hope you feel better soon. Maybe try taking a hot bath with some epson salt with Eucalyptus oil. It's soothing, maybe it will help. Good luck!

Hi,

Am so sorry you are feeling so bad, have had a bad few days too so can totally relate to how you're feeling...came off the pill over a month ago so me and my partner could ttc (got diagnosed with adenomyosis at last lap) and goodness me, thought it was bad before but it's even worse now : (

Have you tried a TEN's machine? I need to get more batteries for mine (overuse I think!) but it can be quite effective at helping with the pain in a not painkiller way.

Have you tried any other natural therapies? I have been doing some research over the last few days and have found some natural anti inflammatories including omega 3, green tea and white willow bark - might be worth a try?

Hope you feel better soon, sending lots of healing vibes and hugs x

Geez, I am so sorry you are in such pain, that is awful. I can totally relate. I get severe pain when I am on my period. The first three days are usually the worst. But lately I have been having pain and cramping a week before my period begins as well. I cannot take ANY kind of NSAID like motrin or advil. They all mess my gut up real bad. So I am stuck with just tylenol which does not help much at all.. The heating pad is my best friend, I am attached to it all the time...

I hope your feeling much better! That's so awful. We are hear when you need to vent! I'm sure we all totally understand.

Sending healing sparkles your way!

I would recommend not using heat when your on your period...I know it can be "soothing" but heat rushed blood to the area of heat, and that's what causes pain. I stay off the heat durning menstruation. Try a couple of advil and maybe some ginger root. Have you seen a doctor?

that was me every time i came off the injection, i couldnt move without feminax and the products and that cost a bloody fortune! i did 6 month off the injection last yr, i usually do a yr but couldnt handle it! i used to use heat pads and hot water bottles but feminax worked well.this yr iv had so much pain and its just got worse and worse, im on the injection but hav been spotting all thru it, i told fam planning they just changed the injection date from every 12 weeks to 10. no change. then in feb i had a pr (rectal) bleed, a lot! i thought i was dying! iv had kidney stones in the past and was under urology but then ended up under the general team. they did a colonoscopy and found a polyp but said it wouldnt hav caused a bleed like that. so i had barium tests, cystoscopy, ct scans, us scans. and general team were goin to do a laparoscopy but i ended up in a different hospital. i was having oxy norm there, coz the pain was that bad, my pulse shot up to 148bpm (should b 80) and bp 171/98! (norm, 120/80) i was clammy and in a lot of pain. i told the other hospital about the spotting but they said its normal. then i told a nurse at this other hospital, (i go to two coz my home one doesnt hav a urology dept and i hav kidney stones aswel) she refered me to gyne and two drs felt a lump on my womb. scan showed nothing but coz both drs felt it a laparoscopy was booked. they sent me home, even tho i can barely walk, the pain is so bad in the right of my pelvis, and the whole of my tum feels bruised i can feel where my ovaries r coz the pain is bad to press lightly there. they sent me home on a morphine patch, gabapentin and tramadol. i think iv ended up on so much coz iv had this chronic pain for 6 months now, think along the way iv built up tolorance. but i had my lap the other day and 'covered' is the word they used to describe inside me. obv worried about the infertality bit, being nearly 30 and single with no kids and not to forget working on a maternity ward 40hrs per week. wel, i used to before this, im goin back for sure but iv now got to wait for an apt to discuss my options, they used to burn it off at the same op as diagnosis, they cant do that anymore, some tit prob complained they didnt hav consent and for some reason wanted to keep her endo! wtf? its painful, its come to a head for me i think. iv been telling fam planning that my monthlys r heavy and to the point of pain where i cant get out the house! just got taken for a wimp. even been called it a few times when iv been keeled over and mates lookin at me like yeah periods r bad, but giv over ri, they aint that bad! well mine were and this is bloody why! i bloody knew it! although the last 6 month i just never thought endometriosis was the cause of all this pain, so now i think il b having another lap soon... hopefully and get rid of the majority. did n e one else take 6 month to diagnose? any one else hav pr bleeding coz of endo? im a nurse and didnt know that could happen!! much love, hope u all stay as pain free as poss! xx
