Has anyone had excision surgery done by Robert Furr? I have a phone consult with him on Wednesday. He was listed on Nancy Nook's page. Thanks.
I am told he is fantastic. I know he is vetted and follows the footsteps of Dr. CY Liu whose daughter is also an excision specialist.
He left Chattanooga. I will be finding out where he is now.
my daughter has suffered 14 years of pain, had 2 operations & copes with using these meds, is working every day (apart from impossible days)so I am asking for her, thank you
thanks a lot - i'll tell her this
I am still in great pain after my laparoscopy not even 6 months ago. I have cut dairy and gluten as well as alcohol. The doctor says its either surgery again or upping my orillissa for the 6th month dose. Has anyone had the same experience? Are there options or is this just life?
I am 63 and had endo since l was 14. So keep that in mind. Orissa was not an option before my hysterectomy. I take it now l take midol too. Middle works really well and they have a pill that relieves… read more

I'm about to start my journey of trying to conceive. I will be beginning the egg freezing process soon & then full IVF within year or two. I am currently in pain meds and hormone meds to reduce the pain, however, I'll have to come off all pain meds during the egg prep/retrieval process. Are there any natural/organic remedies that could work??
I know this is a little older post, but totally what I'm worried about starting an IVF cycle, is that the hormones will feed the pain (estrogen during frozen embryo transfer and period after egg… read more
My Obgyn has only prescribed pain pills- Vicodin and Percocet for my pelvic pains. I'm thinking about alternative medicine. I've heard Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can help with my Endometriosis and Adenomyosis. But I haven't heard any stories specifically linked with endo or adeno.
Hello, I do Acupuncture and some supplements for inflammation- green tea and turmeric. My TCM practitioner would like me to start supplements of Peony and Licorice as some evidence to support their… read more
What pain medication have you found to be helpful
Tramadol if they will prescribe it. I ended up getting a prescription when I had to go to the ER for my pain :/
Anyone else experiencing bad headaches after laparoscopy?
I am a migraine suffer so I’m not scared ir shocked thaf j have one. But I can’t seem to get rid if it ans mt list if medications I can take are pretty much vicodin and motrin. Any one have some natural tips for me? Also wanted to see id anyone else had severe throat pain from the breathing tube. It honestly feels like I have strep. I can barely talk. I’m so miserable ðŸ˜
Yes, every time I have had any surgery where I was put under Nd the tube down my throat it hurt the next day. Reason being is putting in and raking out scrapes ur throat causing irritability
So many of us deal with pain that would debilitate our lives, if we weren't able to sustain ourselves with some sort of medication to tackle the flair up. But what works the best?
Most of my doctors have put me on Tramadol first and Oxycodone when I explain how Tramadol doesn't do much for my pain. As well as nerve blockers and NSAIDS (Which I limit always to, when needed). HOWEVER, society has a different view on pain medication and I'm wondering if this has made anyone feel uncomfortable… read more
