I have been having sciatica pains for years with my endo, more when I’m on my period and ovulating but can be whenever. I have had an MRI to see if any nerves or discs or compressed etc but apparently they aren’t, was wondering if anyone else has had this experience?
I had leg pain badly as a teenager
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.
When I get a flareup, I get about four hours asleep, so I usually take an edible and I sleep all night
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.

I continued to have constant pain after having Laproscopy in January. The pain may not be AS bad as before the surgery, but now I have new pain that I didn't have before. My doctor suggested take Lupron Depot since I was still experiencing pain. I took the 3 month dose in August and I'm still having constant pain daily. I'm scheduled to take another 3 month dose in a couple of weeks. Advise, please, ladies; should I take another shot of Lupron even though I'm still in pain??
I had a different experience with pelvic floor PT but I think I just got lucky and got a really good gal who goes very slow. Bc I'm still doing it for the past 6 months and I love it! Helps my pain… read more
Has anyone else had their hormones tested after getting diagnosed with endo? If so, results? All my hormones are fine, except my estrogen is very low. I am going to discuss with Dr but I am curious to know others' results, if you'd like to share, thanks!
Curiosity. My hormones feel so whacky. I have these crazy emotional episodes that creates stress on my body so I was thinking progesterone would be low but at the same time I feel like my estrogen is… read more
I this might be a really silly question but do you get diffrent kinds of endometriosis. My fertility specialist said that he found inflammatory Endometriosis? I know nothing about this.
Hi I went for my post op today and he explained it all. Haha sorry for silly question
I meant to say progesterone cream at night not estrogen!
All the time!
