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.

I went to the er i was dehydrated from being sick for the past two days so i got fluids and they basically just gave me pain meds did a pelvic which hurt and looked over my records from all this. then came back later told me it might be endo and i should find a better gyno. they sent me home with naproxon and vicodin. hubby is mad says i only went to the er because he was hounding me about a job last night not it at all. i feel so alone in this i just want to cry.

Make sure you are eating and drinking still. Try anything to help (heat, bath, a walk). If it gets worse, call your doctor again and insist they see you.

Take care of yourself first,don't worry about hubby,I am sure he cares about you,but maybe he is just working too hard and its got him irritable.It will pass.

(((((((((megan))))))))))) You need to take care of yourself. I know what it's like to have an unsupportive hubby. I'm so sorry you're going through all this. My heart goes out to you.

I am starting to wonder if the tension with your husband and his lack of support is increasing your pain. I don't mean it is in your head at all, what I mean is that once you are already in pain, you become what is called 'pain focussed' (meaning you can't escape it and it takes over) because NO ONE will help you. I understand how you feel since every time I see an asshole doctor I get sicker it seems. I think you need to look out for yourself and start thinking of ways to get support, as well as treat yourself for pain (ie. what makes you happy? what distracts you?) or even make a plan that YOU know is right, like a pain level that means you go to the ER.
Are you not on painkillers? My loser doctors refused me painkillers for 10 years, don't put up with that crap!~

Sorry you are having so much pain. Pain does increase when we are stressed. i hope you feel better.

I'm glad you were able to get some help.

I know my pain is way worse when I over do it or get stressed out. It sounds like you need to make a decision about hubby and then stick to it, to eliminate this stress.

Good Luck. I'm still glad you got the help you needed.
