Previous doc (have since moved country) reckoned that the shoulder pain I get about twice a year a couple of days before my period is related to endometriois. She also reckons it was the reason for my horrible periods as a teen/in my 20s, but that as it hadn't appeared to affect my fertility, no-one was particularly bothered to look into it further. Doc's advice was if I was getting the pain to run 2 packs of pill into each other to reduce the incidence of it.
I'm doing that at the moment (1st weekend away in over a year coming up and didn't fancy AF at the same time). But the shoulder pain has started today and it's awful. Painkillers (have tried paracetamol and nurofen as that's what I have in the office) aren't touching it, and I feel like I'm going to vomit.
Any tips on ways to ease the pain? It always used to keep going until my period arrived, which means 3 weeks of this and a miserable weekend away
Any ideas?
