Endometriosis help

Hello, I'm looking for suggestions on medication. Nothing seems to work for me; Tylenol, Advil, aleve, ibuprofen. I've tried them all and nothing! Any suggestions will help, as long as it's over the counter. Thank you

unfortunately the depo will mask the endo for a while...your best bet is to get to the excision specialists...the dr. who did your surgery probably is not well trained in all the subtle appearances of endometriosis and the depo would have brought the inflammation of the disease down as well making it even harder to see...I too was on depo for a while and although things were ok on it for a while...just like with other bc pills and other drugs used...they are temporary and the disease is still hard at work causing inflammation and scarring in your pelvis...at least for many of us who have walked this path already...
great place to learn accurate information on this disease...

I was told last July I had endometriosis and had surgery this past March and was told I have a small amount of it in my lower pelvic. But maybe you so try the depo and see if that help you!!!!

Have you been diagnosed with Endometriosis?

If you have been diagnosed through laparoscopy was it done by an Endometriosis specialist?

All of this matters in managing your pain.
