Ectopic pregnancy

I had an ectopic pregnancy in Oct 08. It's now 10 months later and I am still getting the most painful periods. I had the right tube removed and I get pain on the right side every month. The pain is unbearable and is affecting every part of my life. Everytime I go to the doctors I get told to take painkillers, but the I can't take painkillers indefinitely, and it has been months. Has anyone else had this? How did you overcome it?

hi i had an ectopic in 2006 and had the right tube removed too, i get pain every  month also but i dont get painful periods, the pain eventually slows down and becomes bareable, just try to relax, if the pain still persists i advise you to contact the hospital for second advice, hope this helps and good luck x

Hi, Thank you so much for your advice. I'll try to relax. Must admit that has been difficult since it happened. Thanks again xx
