Hello,
I was wondering if it could be endometriosis or somethibg else.
I have children but past couple of year i've been expierencing these symptom that i've ignored till lately because it was that bad i couldn't move off bed and ended up in A&E.

Symptoms are:
Belly swollen like i'm pregnant.
No periods on coil.
Really bad stinging sharp pain across abdomen.
Pain goes inside bum like a stabbing feeling that travels up my back.
Feel sick and always tired.

My adenomyosis felt like that (but was also easy to spot on a scan). What did A and E say

They just gave me painkillers and told me to contact doctors.

They should have referred you onto gynaecology. Do now contact your gp and seek referral to gynaecology that way. If finances permit I would go private for an initial consultation as waiting lists are miles long in many areas.

Got appointment for gp tomorrow. My stomach blown up like I'm pregnant.
Painkillers don't seem to be helping,Wheat bag seems to be my best friend at the moment.
Pain normally comes and goes but for some reason this one is sticking and stomach won't go down.

Please go to Drs urgently. Hopefully it’s not it but bloating was sign of ovarian cancer for me. Ask for a CA125 blood test and a scan.

When I go tomorrow I'll mention it.
How are you feeling. Have you got the all clear that the cancer has gone?
