Adenomyosis and pain killers / pain management

[joel's girl]

I second the panadine forte + nurofen. I usually needed a hot shower then to lay quietly and calmly for at least a half an hour (breathing deeply through the pain) to suppress the pain. The medication alone was not usually enough.

I so do not miss those days and whole heartedly empathise with your hun.

After my ops I did get some high dose medication that because I was using as sparingly as I could I used when the endo raised it's head again......but I can't remember the names and they were definately prescription only as well.

Hi Girls
Was the medication your talking about in tablet form???

I have just got the indocid out and it is not Ibrprofen like I thought. The active ingr is 100mg of Indomethacin. I use one of these suppositories and 2 pan forte and they put me to sleep. ( You can only get these on script.)

I was also told about a Ibrprofen & codine tablet you can get over the counter, that mix may help you. One of the Gyn registrars that I have seen in the past explained to me that not all meds react the same way in everyone - that is why Dr's start with one med and then go to the next one if that didn't work for you. Its a bit of trial and error to see what is best for your situation.

Have you tried natural theropies - I know a girl who goes regularly to have - her aura cleansed and also has Aqupuncture (sp??) plus other things done to her and she finds it works for her.

I hope you find something that helps you

Take care
Chris

On the Natural Therapys - I actually tried Reiki. I was in constant agony and nothing was working, so i gave it a shot. I truely and honestly beleive that it is what helped me. Not just with the pain management - but for my fertility as well. We TTC for about 8 months and were told IVF was our only option due to the damage (combination effect - i have a lot of issues downstairs not just ademyosis) yet the only thing that i changed was commencing Reiki - i fell pregnant the next time i ovulated. So if you are willing to give natural threapys a shot - go for it!!!!!
