Hi

I often had back pain, and abdominal pain when I had endometriosis.

A hot water bottle, or heating pad helps next to your abdomen,

or wherever it hurts.

Ibuprofen, or another NSAID can be helpful too.

What has your doctor done for a definitive diagnosis? This link

will tell you everything you need to know about endometriosis

Donna,

Before I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, I was admitted to the hospital for

appendicitis because I had severe abdominal pain. After the surgery the doctor

told me they could find no cause for my pain, but removed the appendix while

they were in there.

For about 2 years I did fine, and then the pain returned. The pain was so

severe I would turn a different color, almost pass out and sometimes vomit. The

doctors all thought it was endometriosis and decided to perform surgery to

explore the cause of pain. They again found nothing.

The pain continued and then I was diagnosed with Fibro, which was one

explanation of the pain. Pain medicines did not help and so I visited a

naturopath who also performed acupuncture. I went off birth control, and

refrained from using tampons, in coordination with getting the acupuncture. To

my amazement the abdominal pain went away and I have not experienced it since.

I do not know if this information will help you, but figured I would share my

own experience in hopes of giving you some perspective.

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

Hugs,

Hi Kaylene,

My pain management dr is looking to more anti imflamtory drugs, IE Ibruprofen

but as I am a know asthmatic it can cause a reaction which may be fatal so he is

not willing to put me on Ibruprofen at this present time,

My gyne, Is sending me for a scan next monday and then next wednesday I have

appointment to see him next wednesday and possible surgery.

Hi Donna

Is your doctor talking about a hysterectomy? I had one when I was thirty due to

severe endometriosis. If I had known sooner that's what it was, I would have had

it done five minutes after my second child was born, when I was twenty-five.

I know there are other options, but in my situation, I barely had one week out

of a month when I almost felt human.

Let us know how you are doing.
