Constant Discomfort with Endometriosis: Anyone Else?

I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2022, have a had two surgeries and still feel constant discomfort all throughout my body everyday at all times of the day. I’ve never come across anyone who has symptoms like mine, does anyone feel constant heaviness and pressure in the lower abdomen? It’s not really painful just extremely uncomfortable and it’s just bloat but it looks like it, it literally feels like the insides of my body are sagging to the bottom of my pelvis. I suspect it’s a nervous system issue but none of my doctors can figure out what’s wrong with me. It is not common pelvic pain with periods and I actually don’t even get my period and still don’t know why.

I actually do have a similar feeling with like a constant heaviness and like an ache that just won't go away inside me. Although I've never stopped having my period, I just take birth control now since it had been very irregular. I've also never gotten an endometriosis surgery yet.

I have that and when it's really bad it feels like a stabbing were my uterus once was. Constipation is a factor it's hard to pass through unless it's watery too many kinks and blockages to travel through. Chronic pain inflamation game.

If you still have pain or discomfort is because you may have had surgery with a non good endo surgeon. I would recommend dr Camran Nezhat. Had surgery 3 years ago and I feel like I never had the disease. I recommend the website Icarebetter for endo. You’ll have all the best surgeons in the US and the world fully specialized.

I also had surgery with him recently and feel amazing. He had to work overtime on me because I was so bad and he was surprised when I was standing the next day.

I get this sooo bad. I wake up in the morning feeling such bad heaviness. It makes me feel so sick and tired. For me it just feels so unnatural like something is so heavy and wrong. After my surgery it was better for about a month but I can tell it’s headed back to that heaviness. Sometimes it’s from constipation but I have it either way a lot of the time. It’s so hard to accept some of these symptoms don’t go away and not even surgery can help some of them. Diet helps me a lot lately. There are a lot of facebook groups with thousands of women in them that have really helped me through this whole process and have given me so many great tips that have helped. I would suggest looking into them!
