A heat pack is the most effective pain relief for me. It’s not super transportable, but it does wonders for my pain. I looked on the Nancy’s Nook Fb page (an educational group about endo that compiles a huge list of vetted endo specialists) and there are several doctors in Phoenix. I’ll try to upload a photo of their contact info. As far as surgery, I’m very pro surgery as long as it is an excision done by an expert. My first surgery did nothing but my second which was an excision helped me so so much.

Hi! A product I use that really helps alot of my muscle tightness and cramping is Magnesium Lotion! You can get it at Sprouts, Whole Foods, or other health food stores for less than $10 and it is a hidden Gem! I just found it and take it with me everywhere. I find it more helpful than lidocain ointment :) I also go to pelvic floor physical therapy which has been a long process but I am finally starting to see results and its a good feeling. I had laproscopic surgery to remove my adhesions and clean up a ruptured endometrioma and TBH I was pain free for about 3-4 months before it started ceeeping back. 4 years later I have sharp pulling pains near my incision site going down to my pubic bone and my doctor believes adhesions have formed from that scar tissue. Dont get me wrong some women find relief from surgery, I just wasnt one of them. I hope you find relief soon! Good luck 😊

If you click on the photos they will get more in focus!
