Dealing With Fatigue, Chest Tightness And Bloat.
Hi! I got my surgery that removed all of my extensive stage 4 endometriosis. Thankful for this and minimal pain. Go with an endo expert if you get the surgery!

When I eat it’s normal I get chest tightness and even just standing up straight when I’m bloated makes me feel this chest tightness/pressure. I’m seeing a pelvic floor PT which has been helpful. Anyone else deal with these symptoms even… read more

I Am Not Sure If This Is Endo Related, I Have Never Had A Heavy Period But A Lot Of Pain In My Lower Left Abdomen And Back , Feels Likes A B
Burning 🔥 sensation. This started in 2018 , the pain lasts from days to weeks to months and then goes away. I was put on lo loestrin in 2020 and the pain went away but now it is back 4 years later,
