thanks girls i have had it before i slipped and fell at work (emergency department) and suffered severe pelvic contusions (bruising) i had it then and it worked a treat and i was ok on it ....
The tramal was really working it was just knocking me out but the pain was still there few weeks back so hense why i thought i would try the endone just to get on top of the pain then follow up with just panadol and nurofen.
I had a hysterscopy and laproscopy last year for my endo. I then went on Zoladex for a few months. If you're not TTC at the moment then they might be options woth discussin with your dr.
I had a d&c in January and have had a rapid escalation in symptoms since that (it was for a mm/c and I had been symptom-free before the BFP), so I'm having my second lap tomorrow (first one was 2 years ago) and hoping it will make a difference.
If you haven't had one in 5 years and your symptoms are as bad as you describe a lap sounds like a good first step.
I hear that you are experiencing very strong and debilitating pain , but I'm not convinced that just prescribing ever-stronger pain meds is the right way to go with this. Has your GP discussed trying any hormonal treatments? Have they discussed your surgical/ablation options? Honestly, fair enough to take the strong pain meds if you need them (and I don't doubt that you do), but with the high level of pain you're experiencing you're better off asking for a referral to a gyno who is known to specialise with endo treatment, and get along to find out what other treatments might help you at this point in time.
Endone is a very high-end pain medication (as is tramadol for that matter). If you're needing to use these frequently, there's a chance of addiction, as well as rebound-pain when you're not taking it. Has your dr discussed using a combination of other pain relief meds, sometimes several of the lower-end ones (ie combined with a good anti-inflammatory) together can be more effective than a heavy-hitter. Fair enough if you really need the pain coverage right now, but I'm worried that this is not an appropriate long-term option, kwim?
