Hi everyone I'm knew to this but what is it that you do or use for pain I'm in so much right now
Heating pad, ibuprofen, and CBD lotion (at least 1000mg) helped with cramping.
I'm so sorry and know how you feel. I've had 2 excision surgeries, which helped tremendously. That was the start of it; we all need lots of different therapies to help.
Alternating heating pads and cold packs helps me for the pain. My pelvic floor physical therapist told me that sometimes heat worsens the inflammation, so to use cold too. I alternate Advil and Tylenol too. I had Norco, but I hated how it made me feel and I had to be in absolute agony for hours before I would take it. I like TENS units, but IMHO, don't spend more than $30-40 because many are overpriced and it's bologna that they charge that. Warm Epsom salt baths help too. I also have pelvic floor physical therapy exercises and there’s lots of yoga for endo videos on YouTube. Here's links to two of my favorites.

I also have compounded suppositories of Flexeril (muscle relaxant) and Lidocaine (numbing agent). There’s several different formulas of them, so ask your doc if you want to look into that. When I have to be away from my heating pad, those Thermacare menstrual heating pads (or generic) are helpful. Some users swear by peppermint oil to the belly but it was too strong for me. I never thought to cut it with coconut oil though. This oil blend to the belly helps me.

I’ll leave a resource list I made of stuff about endo I've found helpful over the years. Other users have said it helped too. It covers things from endo basics to excision surgery to diet and wellness. Let me know if I can do anything. Happy to help however I can.

Naproxen worked for me.
IBUPROFEN "4" 200MG every 2 hours for 6 hours. Only when cramping though, i normally have to do this for 2 days and than itll calm down
I use my hot water bottle. I try mediation and distraction techniques too.
