I’m having surgery in June for endometriosis and I’m super hopeful they will find something. I’m terrified they won’t find anything and then I’ll feel like I’m going crazy

What’s helped the most is a wedge pillow and a belly band! The band supports your core since you can’t use it. Timed my meds out so I’d have something in rotation to prevent pain, I alternate ice and heat. Shoulder heat pad helped too! Lots of gas x too! Im day 4 post op and really feel decent. Feel free to dm me too if you have more specific questions 💛💛

My biggest tell was really long periods like 3-8 weeks. And it was really heavy. Even birth control wouldn’t help. The pain is really debilitating like missing work and school, since it’s a whole body disease, I felt like I’d have constant utis, kidney pain, felt like (and got misdiagnosed) as appendicitis multiple times, tired all the time, pain w everything (working out, bathroom, walking) there hasn’t been a pain free day in almost 10 years
