Hi!
I was wondering if anyone else got back pain during ovulation. It kind of feels like sciatic pain in my lower back, i’ll get twinges once in a while and spasm when lying flat. I usually get bad back pain on my period but since I got laparoscopy 2 1/2 months ago I notice it during ovulation. I still am getting ovulation cramps/ soreness too. Can anyone else relate?

Members strongly related to experiencing back pain during ovulation, with several describing sciatic-like pain in the lower back that can spread to the shoulders and neck. Many members shared that recovery from laparoscopy often takes much longer than expected (sometimes six months or more), with lingering pain at incision sites, and emphasized that everyone heals at their own pace. A recurring theme was finding relief through a combination of approaches, including pelvic floor physical therapy, chiropractic care focused on inflammation, medications like Orilissa, and Botox injections for pain management.

I also forgot to mention, it does grow on the stomach, lungs, heart, chest, even the brain. I plan to prove this scattered white mass on my brain is endometriosis, no one. No one can tell me what it is. Because they don't know. Even a brain soc could tell me. He even said they've never seen this on someone my age. Hrrrrmmmm...hello, ding! Ding!

31 years suffering in labor like pain, 38 years of chronic nausea and throwing up, because of the endometriosis. Time for bad docs to say bye bye to their licenses. And us to be treated with full dignity, respect, and allow us to actually be a part in our medical care, and have a say to what we know works for.us. and let them add things they know works too. Enough is enough!!!!!!!¡

I have been on mostly, off some after a yr , when I've had surgery, for a couple years, then on again intermittently, pain meds, the closer I get to needing surgery again, I'm on constant. I am constantly treated badly by hospital e.r docs. Even people treat me badly. Last Friday was horrible. The e.r doc almost threw me into a seizure. He actually told me..oh well you've had a full hysterectomy, you can't have endometriosis! WTF where did he get his license.? Cereal box! Then he began from there. Treated me as a seeker! I was more than upset. This shit needs to stop. I'm seeing to that too. I promise.!

I would have my hips lock up so bad, I would cry, my back killed me sooooo much worse, then my best friend Amy, introduced me to her prsctice, which now is a shared. , I'd even go to the e.r, the pain from the locking up was horrific. I'm sure when I was pregnant Yeats years years ago, did not help, but I'm 100% sure this damn endo is all over my body, as well as all or most of my endo sister. It's a beast.

My left side even my back, is the worst side. My hips were really bad, then I found my chiropractor Marcella she fixed me, I went in 2x a week for 1 year practically. She did leg decompression, my God! If your head feels high when done, it's done Right!!!!!!
