Do i have endomitriosis
Hi
I am pretty sure i have endomitriosis, i have been experiencing a variety of problems for the last couple of years but it has only been in the last few months the pain has become unbearable.
I am 26 years old and for the last 3 months just before my period i have been experiencing such bad pains mainly in my right hand side of my pelvis back and stomach, these pains are so bad i end up having loads of time off work, the pain also shoots down into my leg then causes it to be hard for me to walk, other symptoms are upset stomach just before these pains start, fatigue and depression. I have previously been told I have IBS, appendicitis and also Fibrolygima because i was having issues with feeling like i had pins and needles in my arms and legs, i also had my appendix taken out as they thought i had appendicitis which it turned out not to be.
I have had an ultrasound of my stomach and pelvis and the nurse could not find anything, i told the nurse all of my symptoms and even she advised she thought this is what i had. I have another docs appointment on Thursday so hopefully they will refer to a specialist so i can get to the bottom of this because i just need answers this has been going on way to long.

It certainly sounds from what you have said that it could be Endometriosis. Your goal at this point is to focus on finding an Endo specialist. I can help with that if you message me around where you live and I can give you the closest one to you that is highly experienced. I would also make sure that you start keeping all your reports from tests that you have done as some doctors see nothing but others could see something that was missed and important.
