Recurring Endometriosis Symptoms After Expert Excision

i’d say my digestion improved a lot but my periods never massively did - since i started nerve pain medicine it has really helped with thigh pain that still persisted after surgery, my periods would feel a lot worse without it! same for acupuncture that i get weekly. ovulation was never as painful as it’s been these last 6 months or so and i never suffered with constipation pre surgery or post until the last 6 months. i suffered with feeling like i need to pee after surgery for the first time but that settled but has been reflaring - I think i might have IC! i have been in pelvic PT since surgery and it’s never really been hypertonic and i’m generally in good form for that! why is endo such a clusterfuck of problems😂😂 i don’t want more surgery because recovery was so rough but i wish there was a way to go in without risks of adhesions or more problems :(

So while recurrence is rare, it is always possible. There are also many other things associated with endo that could be going on! Did the symptoms totally go away and then come back? If so that sounds like recurrence. But if they didn’t totally go away then I’m guessing there’s something else going on! After my expert excision I felt some relief for a short time and then it came back in full force. Turns out it was mostly pelvic floor dysfunction, fibro, and IC that we’re left and I had to take care of. If you have any questions please feel free to message me :)
