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.
First off sorry for my previous rant i found out after i posted it was the wrong spot. Anyways I was wondering what your pain felt like and if im the only loon? Mine is most of the time around a 4. just crampy, dull and constant. if i move just right or alot, intercourse too it is severly sharp. when it is sharp I get very dizzy, cant move, plus i feel hot and my heart just feels like it is racing. but my dr told me your blood pressure goes up when you have pain. but i dont know no one belives i have this pain anyways.
My pain is just like yours it sounds like... it seems very crampy, dull and constant... i also feel weird pressure whenever i stand up from sitting down or even just as i sit down in my chair. during intercouse, i as well, will get a severely sharp pain at times, and i literally feel like i jump a mile when that happens.
I also get pain even lower in my vagina it seems like, sharp shooting pains.
My abodomen bloats like none other and the headaches I get are horrible.
I also get really hot and i feel like my heart is racing too!! I thought that was just me!
There are days when I am pain free though, but still fatigued quite a bit.
I never knew what was going on with me, I thought (and even my docs tried to tell me) that it was in my head... i really thought I was going crazy b/c it seemed like nobody really knew how to respond what I was going through.
I hear "you're tired all the time" "you always have a headache" "you are always sick" and let me tell you, its annoying!
i have had sharp shooting pains where i've become dizzy as well..
hang in there, and if you need anything let me know! i know its difficult trying to get others to understand, but we're all here for you!
But to be more specific, it is a dull aching feeling and it almost feels like my pelvic area is heavy. I don't know a better way to describe it. Then there is sharp shooting pain and it makes me feel like my insides are on fire.
Be careful not to underestimate your level of pain. My doctor told me not to describe this as cramps when talking to doctors, because that makes them take you less seriously.
I get something called percocet now for the pain when it is the worst around my period and also if sex gets too painful.
I don't think anyone should have to feel this way when there is an alternative!
