Endo pain sucks!!
But I'm guessing you all know it sucks though.
I have endo, adeno and polycystic ovaries. I had a baby 3.5 months ago and the 9 months of pregnancy was the best simply because I had no pain. But at about 6-7 weeks post baby all the pain came back worse than before. I had seperated muscles from the pregnancy and had to wear a compression band around my belly but at 10 ish weeks I realised that this tight band was making the pain worse. So the pain has reduced slightly in that I don't have it every day but is still so bad the week before I get my period, during my period and, and around ovulation. The pain goes from my shoulders down to the backs of my knees. I really want another baby so don't want to take the pill or anything as we needed <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> to have the baby we do. So I'm just taking ponstan and Panadol around my period from when the pain starts until my period goes. But nights like tonight where the pain springs up a week before my period is due makes me wish I was dead but only until the pain passes. I hate taking pain killers, especially ones that make you foggy headed. Any coping strategies would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I coped okay before being pregnant but the time off has set me back to square one on dealing with this all over again.
For those wanting a baby, I really hope you don't think I'm being insensitive and if you do I'm sorry. I know how lucky I am and am gratefully for the break from endo / adeno pain. Good luck xx
