Does anyone have really bad siatic symptoms with endo flares? They were pushing on my ovaries today during vaginal ultrasound the pain was in my right hip/buttocks all the way down my leg. Like pain that made me sick. Then my stomach got really up set like right before having diarreah.

Hey guys I've been having bad off and on lower back and hip pain that's progressed (along with these lovely endo symptoms, since surgery in July) over the past 6+ months. I've seen some stuff about sciatica and have heard about it, but I'm 23. Could this be sciatica or just play lower back/hip(s) pain due to the endo???

I read on the center for endometriosis website that there is such thing as "sciatic endometriosis", where the endo lesions adhere to the sciatic nerve. What do you guys think? Does anyone have sciatic nerve pain caused by their endo? I've been having a lot of pain shooting down my left leg. Thanks!

I have stomach problems and digestive issues and hurts to have bowel movements and been irregular and worst since surgery. Can it come back or be the problem still? I had a hysterectomy when I was 28 I am now 46 I still have both ovaries. My endometriosis was in the uterine walls and behind the uterus.

Does anyone else suffer from leg pain? Along with my hips and lower back, my knees and calves will ache and throb. I sometimes feel a shooting pain going down from my groin to my inner thigh. I had behind-the-knee swelling in my right leg and had to go to the ER for DVT scans, because at the time I was on birth control (2 scans were negative). I saw an orthopedic and had an X-Ray and MRI - both showed no sign of injury. Not sure if it could be ends-related. I've tried icing and Tylenol and… read more

I used to sleep great, but when I start getting endo pain I have a hard time staying asleep. If the tiniest thing wakes me up, that's it, I'm awake. If I take something before bed it wears off before it can help. And I don't always have an opportunity for a nap later in my day. Has anyone found a way to get restful, restorative sleep? Only getting 6 hours of sleep a night almost every night is really wearing me down.

I was curious if anyone else has ever noticed exercise helps symptoms? I was doing CrossFit regularly and I noticed my cramping, spot bleeding, pms symptoms subside. I noticed when I am heavily stressed they come full force. But doing intense exercise did the reverse.

Anyone get pains that shoot down their legs?

Endo needs to be removed deep and wide by the excision technique. Not every OBGYN knows how. When it's done correctly the Endo has a very small chance of returning. Call one of these Surgeons and take care of yourself. If it's not possible to see one of these surgeons, still call and they can recommend a quality surgeon near you , who can give you good care.
