Hi,
I had a lap which confirmed endo last week. I thought I would only have it on my left ovary, as that was the one I constantly have sharp pains, like a knife or shard of glass is going through. But it turns out I had growths on both ovaries, plus my uterus and tubes. During my periods (even on the pill), I get really bad cramps, and feel like my whole stomach is going to fall out of my vagina! It is awful. Being on Yasmin pill has helped reduce the pain and severity of this, but I still dread the days where I have to take it really easy!!! Plus, anybody who doesn't get this sort of pain just thinks I'm weird or faking it!
The pain travels down my legs. When it's bad, even my feet and ankles hurt. Also my lower back and pelvic area ache like mad, and sometimes the pain gets really bad. I find if I eat lots it is worse because the food in my stomach puts pressure on my endo areas. Therefore, I have lost weight lol!
