So my dr has told me he is pretty sure I have some Endometriosis, I have not been officially diagnosed yet. My question is does ending hurt all the time and worse when you bend over or pick up something heavy? My left side around ovary and leg and my whole pelvic area hurts and burns so bad today. When I go to pick something up it makes it hurt even worse. I know for sure I get ovarian cyst. It is an everyday pain I have and worse during my cycle.

There are only a couple hundred excision specialists, so most states only have a couple, & some states have none at all. You may have to travel a little, I know there are some good ones in Texas. My state only has one 2 hrs away from me that i was seeing, but he took a sudden medical leave so I have to travel out of state now.

You just described exactly what I feel. Mine is on the left too. My lower back/hip area & leg & all the bending down to pick toys up & lifting at work (preschool) makes it hurt so bad! I feel it every day now as well, but I didn't use too. Today was also particularly bad for me too❤ I'm also not officially diagnosed but I've consulted with 4 excision specialists & have my surgery coming up at the end of the month! I know everyone experiences it differently, some have just cyclical pain, some throughout the month randomly, some every day. I hope you can get answers soon, have you looked into excision specialists? Nancy's Nook (fb group) is the best resource for that
