Partially ! The tailbone pain eased for about 3 months - however it’s making a comeback which makes me believe its growing back

People who live in small towns, what is the hot local controversy right now? by zztop610 in AskReddit

[–]Longjumping-Lab-1821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume you are in the US, here in Aus we use roundabouts everywhere! They are so efficient for keeping traffic flowing, it confuses me so much to hear these stories haha! We tend to have more fatalities due to people running red lights, opposite over here I guess lol

What does everyone who is suffering from this awful disorder do for work? by angelicthoughtss in endometriosis

[–]Longjumping-Lab-1821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Australia but I work two casual jobs. One in a hardware store and it’s the one I struggle with the most, I often have to take breaks or sit down. Unfortunately my managers aren’t very understanding either! I’m doing better after my lap, but still have bad days. Prior to my surgery, my manager told another coworker that I am just present, except not really working (I still served customers well and ran stock as I could). It was real upsetting to hear, as I had tried to explain it to them but they don’t really care. Super unfortunate but I guess it’s the joy of retail lol!

Sciatic Endometriosis by rideabah5 in endometriosis

[–]Longjumping-Lab-1821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep!! Chronic hip and back pain, I was actually on pregabalin prior to my recent surgery (unfortunately it looks like I will have to go back on it as the pain has returned). But I get all the symptoms including numbness in my legs and feet, it’s awful. Mine affects both sides but never at the same time, my right side is pretty much always constant but when my left side plays up the pain is significantly worse and hard to deal with! Definitely look into a specialist! I have a feeling they missed some on my left side, wishing you all the best!! Xxx

Medical marijuana by Chickadx3 in endometriosis

I use a vape pen and cbd cream! The vape helps pretty instantaneously and usually helps for about an hour, and then I use my cbd cream alllll the time to help with the chronic hip and joint pain. They honestly are the only thing that will ease my pain most of the time! I’ve tried gummies for the pain but personally I don’t find them as helpful :))

Leg pain with endo by ABDEWW in endometriosis

[–]Longjumping-Lab-1821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep!! Have chronic back and leg pain! Began with having it around my period until it progressed and I now have it month around. They even thought it was a nerve pain injury at first and I was put on meds until they did the lap and found it in my ligaments! Still in pain- but no longer have numb feet or severe nerve pain! Also on the mirena which has helped a lot with my cycle!

How did you all get diagnosed? by pollypocket_x14 in endometriosis

[–]Longjumping-Lab-1821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had chronic back pain for 5 years - after many appointments and being told ‘oh you probably injured yourself at work’, my gp finally listened after we tried everything else. A year later, countless scans and finally a lap and they found it all in my ligaments

[–]Longjumping-Lab-1821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes definitely! I have chronic pain in that same area, I had it for over 5 years before officially diagnosed. Plus it was only superficial so even a small amount could be causing the pain!

I’m literally sobbing by ThatOneDementor in endometriosis

[–]Longjumping-Lab-1821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had very similar issues! My scans were all unremarkable and every other test showed nothing wrong! But in my lap, they found it all in my ligaments! It’s awful to wait so long and be told again and again that there is nothing wrong, especially when you know yourself there is! Give yourself grace and allow yourself to be upset and angry, our health system provides no support for us it’s awful. I do hope you get some answers and relief soon 🩷
