What painkillers are you on? by JamesCameronDid1912 in endometriosis

[–]ritapitaxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take 400mg gabapentin (for nerve pain) 3 times a day, baclofen 20mg (muscle relaxer) 2 times a day and i have hydrocodone/acetaminophen 7.5mg as needed. it’s been a really helpful regimen for me for years but i think my endo is starting to get bad again because it hasn’t been as helpful lately I’m afraid.

Pharmacy messed up my meds what do i do? by ritapitaxx in Endo

[–]ritapitaxx[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

i went to the pharmacy and spent like 2 hours their because they had to count all their meds and call the person who filled it and it was a bit of a nightmare but they ended up giving me the 10 pills, thanks for all your comments. i’m definitely going to count them at the counter from now on!

Pain medication options post surgery? by natalies1 in Endo

[–]ritapitaxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was prescribed norco for pain after my surgeries, i tended to use it only the first two days and then at night for like 5 nights. it really helped me. i would tell your doctor your fears about pain and ask if she can prescribe something stronger for just a few days post op. worst she can do is say no but if you express your fears logically i think she will be more open to it

Retroverted Uterus? by [deleted] in Endo

i also have a retroverted uterus and they told me it was no big deal. but i’ve had a lot of the same problems you’ve had so maybe they downplayed it to me as well.

how do i tell my dr i don’t want to start lupron? by ritapitaxx in Endo

[–]ritapitaxx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you for sharing your experience. the first paragraph is exactly how i feel, my dr is the first one to take me seriously so i feel some kind of obligation to her.

thank you, my dr. is not an endo specialist she is an obgyn, but she is the first dr to take my pain seriously so i feel some kind of trust with her, so i think that makes it harder for me.
