Take a hot bath, use a heating pad, try taking some sort of anti-inflammatory such as Advil, Motrin, or Aleve. My brother bought me a SQUSH therapy massage pillow years ago that I put on my abdomen - but it only soothes a minimal amount of pain. Maybe this can help you until you can get some sort of pain meds. Best of luck to you!

I am sorry that I don't have more advice, I agree with missalici, heat and over the counter med's. If you can't plug in a heating pad at work, you could get one of those Thermacare or Icy/Hot heat patches. They really do work well; I used to ware one all the time when my pain was really bad. No one can tell that you have it on and they are about $8-12 for a two pack, and last most of the day. I hope that you feel better soon!

Be careful that you don't leave your pain to come on to strong, as I know only too well that if I don't get it sorted out there and then I end up in hospital to get pain relief as nothing else works. I hope this is not the case for you, you have had some pretty sound advice, all the things missalici said I would of said. So it is definately worth giving her tips a try to see if they work. Sleeping is also another remedy as whe I tend to be in a lot of pain I try to sleep, and sometimes when I wake up the pain has gone. I hope you get better before you have to return to work.

Hi april3175,

I had endometriosis for many years and I had alot alot of pain, I I had alot of time of work which was not good, but I was at the hospital quite alot because I was in pain and needed help. They thought it was in my mind most of the time but I proved them wrong. In the end though I found out I could not have children and I had endometriosis everywhere, appendics and ovary. If you need any advice I am here for you or you can get me on facebook.

Nicky.
