Sleeping
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've been finding that if I sleep in a position where my legs are tucked up it starts my pain off.
Same as if I wear trousers that cut in when I'm sat, I find that my pains flare up.
I've been reluctant to mention this to gynea incase they think there's another issue

It's fine, I think I've always known to be honest. the biggest issue for me is how much of my bowel I may loose.

Hello, thanks ladies for the feedback.
Ordinarily I'm against not telling them things. I just think that, I'm that advanced in with endo, they don't need to know symptoms. Instead they just need to get me a op date.
I'm at the same stage as you Brilee, potential bowel damage, rectovaginal, and even with surgery I will never be pain free. As they aren't shutting my ovary down before surgery I know they it will come back, like it has for last 14 years & 15/16 ops.
Thanks ladies

I've had that same issue... Anytime I tell doctors about certain issues they put me on more pain pills or just kind of give me sympathy.... I did have surgery in march, so maybe my situation is different and they really can't do anything for me personally at this point. I hope it goes differently for you and they are able to help!

Missyj, I think you should mention all your symptoms and concerns you have to your Ob/Gyn and ask any and all questions you have. This is the only way doctors can exclude some diseases and suspect others and run appropriate tests without wasting precious time. Good luck!
