Hi all,
Since December I’ve had ongoing bladder pain and severe pelvic pain. I’ve seen my GP multiple times and Zapain isn’t touching it.
Last week the GP said my appendix area was very tender and prescribed 3 days of antibiotics. She was clear that if the pain worsened I was to attend A&E not call 111. She was really set this on.
On Sunday the pain escalated significantly — I developed pulsing pain on my right side alongside the worst pelvic pain I’ve had. Normally I would never go to A&E, but given what the GP had said and how severe it was, I was genuinely concerned about appendicitis/rupture, so I went as advised.
Bloods were normal and I was told it wasn’t appendicitis as I was walking normally and inflammatory markers were fine.
I was diagnosed with endometriosis last March. I have DIE and was told my right side is adhered. I’m currently on the waiting list for surgery but have been told it’s likely to be October. I’m based in Wales.
My question is — can endo cause this level of pelvic pain? Has anyone had similar while waiting for surgery?
It’s bad enough to keep me awake at night and I’m struggling to function, but I also don’t want to keep going back to the GP/A&E if this is “just” endo but I also in pain non stop so can't win.
Would really appreciate any experiences or advice please? X
