Had painful periods - my legs, back and hips felt like they were being attacked with Knives πŸ˜‚, sex hurt so much I just couldn’t even have it and I got UTI’s all the time. Everytime I went to the doctor about my periods she just said run your pill together and prescribed me some painkillers. I got antibiotics all the time for my UTI’s. After like 2 years I started reading about endometriosis and was like hmm??? I went to the doctor then mainly to talk abit painful sex and said referred me to a specialist straight away, after half a year I got in for a laparoscopy and they found it mainly on my bladder which explains the UTIs. Since then the pain has been better but I can slowly feel it creeping back now!

I had shooting knife like pains in my butt (yes my actual rectum) when food would move through my colon. I thought i had colon cancer! But i started noticing the pain radiate to the front of my pelvic area, which i told a GI doc and he said it sounds like you have endo. Saw an endo surgeon in town that did a physical exam and booked me for surgery the next week. Confirmed and removed endo through laproacopic surgery. Fast forward to now, have horrible low back, hip, butt, groin pain for weeks at time. Got MRI pelvis and turns out i have adenomyosis along with endometriosis. Thats how i was diagnosised.
