Members discussed post-operative sitting discomfort after endometriosis surgery on the uterosacral ligaments, with experiences varying widely based on whether ablation or excision was performed. Several members shared that excision provided more complete relief, with one member waking up pain-free from excision after years of suffering following an earlier ablation, while another noted that strange sensations after surgery typically calmed down within three to four weeks as the body healed. A recurring theme was the strong encouragement to seek pelvic floor physical therapy when possible and the compassionate support for a member in Egypt facing limited access to specialized care, with the community offering both practical suggestions and heartfelt prayers for relief.

@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member if you don't have pelvic floor PTs, a regular physical therapist/physiotherapist should still be able to help with issues with your sacrum

@ ShannonMcSparkle Really thanks for your answer. I think we don't have pelvic floor physical therapist here in Egypt. I haven't heard of such specialty except after joining the Group and nancy's nook .
Yes , our body takes time to heal.
Really thanks, you gave me hope.

I have/had endo on my uterosacral ligaments and had it removed once by ablation and once by excision. I did not have that issue after either surgery, though I do have some general issues with my sacrum that may or may not be endo-related. If you have access to a pelvic floor physical therapist, that will probably be helpful in addressing this and any other issues and is a really good idea to pursue after endo surgery if possible. Whether you have ablation or excision, your body goes through a lot in surgery and it takes time to heal, so hopefully this is just healing pain. I hope you find relief soon 💛

@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member , We do have N-Acetylcysteine 300 mg and 600 mg as sachets . But , what is its role for sitting problem ? It is known as Mucolytic and its role for Contrast Induced Nephropathy is ow questionable.
My surgeon interpreted that as Inflammation from surgery and Put me on Alphintern( It is not a U.S Medication, present only in Egypt)
