Hi, I'm really sorry if this is in the wrong place & it's abit long winded (sorry!!) but I'd really like some help. I was diagnosed IBS years ago which has progressively got worse over the years. With flare ups that are crippling. 7 years ago the doctors ran tests for chrons/ colitis which came back normal so they left me to get on with it really. It took me a year to fall pregnant with my little girl- but thought nothing of it, thinking it was one of those things. But since having her my symptoms have really got worse. I had a coil fitted 4 months after having her as I've always suffered excruciating periods and bleeding/spotting in between in a bid that this would stop it. I constantly get really painful lower abdo cramps, with constant pinching pains and really bad bloating/ back pain but for the last 2 months, before and during going to the toilet I get excruating pain which subsides after I've been & pain during/ after sex. I also suffer with a feeling of pressure in my bottom which if I sit funny sends a shooting pain up into my rib cage. I went to see the nurse to check that I didn't have some sort of infection(I don't) & when going through my symptoms she said that because I have the coil I shouldn't get painful periods or be really be bleeding? & that she thought that it might be endo. I made an appointment with the doctor but he just said it was one of those things & to have the coil removed to see if that makes a difference? He totally brushed me off really. I do have some cysts/masses on my ovaries which where picked up when I had a scan due to appendicitis (3 years ago) but they've not been mentioned since. I'm just wondering if anyone with endo has/does suffer with the same or some of the same symptoms that I've said above? Again- sorry if this is in the wrong place. Xxx
