My daughter has very big problem. She is 23 years old and she has Endometriosis. This is very painful for her, but her gynecologist told her that is early stadium and that this problem is not yet in faze for surgery. He told her to take Aspirin and Ibuprofen if she has big pains. She has terrible pains since yesterday and I am wondering should she, maybe, take Cataflam.
View 3 RepliesIf I use Cataflam for severe endometriosis, should this drug prevent new outcome of my disease. I understood that Cataflam is NSAIDs and that it is usually is used to treat pain. However, Cataflam should have some anti-inflammatory potential, so I hope that it would help. How am I supposed to deal with this disease?

View 2 RepliesI have joint pain and my doctor prescribed me Cataflam. I know that Cataflam is strong medicine and I am not sure should I take it. I want to know more, also, about Cataflam side effects. My friend told me that Cataflam is strong and dangerous medicine. Is she right?
View 1 RepliesI have been presumptively diagnosed with endometriosis for the past 8 months, meaning I haven't had a laparoscopy to confirm. My pain is usually a gnawing/aching pelvic pain concentrated around my inner right hip bone. It can make it cumbersome to eat and move, and will eventually build up to create anxiety and fatigue.
Suddenly, I've been having very strong pain on my right side (again near my hip bone, but also higher and more general). This pain is sharp, sudden, and paralyzing. It will leave me shaking, gasping, and frightened to move again (as if moving might make it worse).
I am concerned about taking the endometriosis NSAIDs I have, in case this pain is from something else. (?)
LADIES WITH ENDOMETRIOSIS, have you ever had pain that feels like this? What does your pain feel like?
[The pain I'm having makes me imagine a small blade is sitting just inside my hip bone, and, when I move, it cuts into the tissue around it (miserable right?)]
I ended up in the ER last week after having lower left abdominal pain and severe lower back pain. I have had pain on and off for the past 4 months. The cycle of pain seems consistent - starting mid-cycle and relief the first day of my period (of course one pain is just substituted for another since I have bad cramping but I prefer the cramping to the mid-cycle pain).
This month as been by far the worst and now I'm having pain radiating up and down my left leg and thigh. The only thing that seems to help is sleep and pain meds only take the edge off.
After having an external/internal ultrasound, the ER doc thought it's most likely Endo- which is really frustrating since there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. I'm already on BC- the Nuvaring, so I don't think there will be any quick solutions with BC pills.
My questions: How common is sciatica with Endo? Are there better BC pills/shots/etc. that will help the Endo symptoms?
I've NEVER had any reproductive issues until last September when they found Adenocarcinoma in Situ on my cervix from a stubborn HPV infection. It's been one thing after another since my colposcopies and cone biopsy. I've read that Cone biopsies can actually make you significantly more prone to developing Endo since it can narrow and scar your cervix and not allow for period blood to escape the uterus.
October of 2014 my primary doctor discovered that I had endo after 6 years of painful periods. I had a laparoscopy on may 13th to gain a better idea on how bad it was. they found fluid floating around from a cyst that was on my right ovary that had ruptured. my left ovary was huge, filled with fluid and its also completely attaches to my bowel. now my GYN said that they just cleaned up the fluids and did not want to remove my left ovary because i am so young (20yrs old). she put me on a BC, camrese to calm the endo and I started taking it on may 17th. for a few days now i have been having symptoms like when I am about to have my period. since yesterday I have been feeling nauseous and both of my ovaries started to hurt. By today the pain has gotten worse. it feels like my ovaries are about to explode. I notice that when I urinate or move my bowel, a little bit of pressure is relieved. the pain is getting unbearable and I don't even have an appetite. I still have 32 more active pills until its my break week. anyone have any idea what could it be? I am scared that its something serious.
View 5 RepliesI had a total hysterectomy due to endometriosis. i was put on climaval hrt patches after which caused headaches and pains and i was then changed to livial approx a year ago but for the last 2 to 3 months i have started to experience the abdomen pains, back pains, leg aches, exhaustion, joint pains and bloating etc that i had before my hysterectomy. its not as bad but its still bad enough to cause problems to my everyday life and routine especially with my 4 year old daughter here. please could anyone recommend any other hrt or treatment for hysterectomy after endometrial? i am now taking my co codamol and voltaren tablets for the pain that i was on before my op!
View 36 RepliesI had a successful Diagnostic Laparoscopy for suspected Endometriosis under general anesthesia in a general hospital and it was done in a little over one hour, I remained in recovery care for 4 hours due to pain and low blood pressure procedure was done yesterday (29th) fortunately doctor was able to treat all the areas/spots that contained Endometriosis growth/adhesions, she made 4 incisions and said that the procedure was smooth and successful. I've been home for roughly 22 hours now. I had a catheter so I'm left with a moderate burning and discomfort which seems to slowly be wearing off in my urethra it's naturally very narrow but thankfully I am able to urinate regardless of the Burning and the discomfort which I was told to expect. I managed to drink mint tea, water, juice and a light meal yesterday though I didn't have much of an appetite and I haven't eaten today either I just don't feel like it at all did this happen to any of you ladies? I am consistent with the pain and anti-inflammatory meds that I have prescribed for me due to the amount of pain I am in. So far I'm in bed laying on my back either resting or sleeping I feel incredibly exhausted. I have a follow up in 4 weeks or so with my doctor and I have her cell number as well which is comforting. Now I just want to know am I the only one who couldn't sit the first day of the surgery? If I force myself to sit I.e when I go to the bathroom I'm in so much pain and it kinda got worse after I got home probably due to the wearing off of the anesthesia. All I know for sure is sitting and the mere attempt of laying on my sides results in lots of pain and the only comforting and least painful position is to lay back down on my back with my head slightly elevated and my feet as well. My abdominal area feels awfully sore and.....

View 1 RepliesI just left my post-op appointment for fibroid removal via abdominal myomectomy only to find out I have severe endometriosis. My OB/GYN says I have blocked fallopian tubes. I'm completely distraught. I'm 32, single, no children (would like all that sooner than later) and had the fibroids removed so that my uterus would have the "all clear" for babies someday. My doc says there was no way to know this prior to surgery and that the most severe cases are asymptomatic. As he spoke, I zoned out. I recall him saying he tried to remove the scarring and tried to see if the tubes would open bla bla bla. I don't know why I didn't ask for a pathology report or pictures, sizes weights.
Looking back, when he visited my hospital room the third day after surgery, I was told 4 fibroids were removed, but was initially told I had 7. I was in an anesthesia induced haze, so I didn't really hear much else. Today I asked about the 4 vs 7 fibroids and he said he removed all the fibroids that he could see. What the heck does that mean? Does that mean I still have 3 in there somewhere or did they shrink from the 5 months of hellish Lupron injections? I've noticed when I'm in shock, I forget to ask important follow up questions such as "Soooooo are there still some in there?"
At this point, I'm not sure what to do, with so many issues going on. In addition to dealing with this, I have other issues such as intense muscle spasms that can't be diagnosed, thinning hair and a balding crown. I'm not ready for children, but I'm extremely worried. I don't want to go through complicated pregnancies (if I can even get pregnant), miscarriages, IVF. It's just too much. According to the doc, I'll be reproductively old in 3 years (thanks for the added pressure)! I'd appreciate any advice anyone can give. I was only prepared to deal with the fibroids as endometriosis does not run in my family and I have no idea where it came from.
Sometimes when I get fever, I take Cataflam. Now, I have baby and he has fever and I am wondering does Cataflam help for baby fever. I did not take my boy to the doctor yet, because I know that is normal for baby to get sometimes fever and I do not want be paranoid mother. My boy is eleven months old.
