Severe pain - why?

Hi - I have stage 4 endo, awaiting a hysterectomy and treatment on my bowel and have a few cysts and fibroids, I have been in bad pain for over a week and the last 24 hours I have been in severe pain, pain meds ain’t working and I have no bleeding just the occasional spot. Is this something to be concerned about? Can anyone shed any light or give me any tips on what I should do? I have emailed my queries which there is a 6-7 week wait for a response and the number I rang is not taking calls? I have a doctors appointment later but I hold no hope of getting answers from the GP as they have already told me they are not experienced enough in endometriosis. Help! Many thanks


  1. Hi I am so sorry to hear you are having such severe pain. Have you been able to get in and see your doctor? How are you feeling? Following up with your doctor is the best thing you can be doing! Others can chime in on their own personal experiences but everyone is different. Hoping you have found some relief! Sending thoughts your way. Warmly, Erin (team member)
