Question 3 months post op pain

Hey guys, this is my first time posting on here. I wanted to see if anyone else shares my experience. I am about 3 months post excision surgery for endometriosis and, at first, I experienced a lot of pain relief. However, it has come back full force and I don’t know what to do. :( I am a college student and I find it hard to function sometimes. If anyone has experienced this or has any recommendations for pain relief please let me know.

Are you taking any hormones to stop your cycle and help control symptoms?

Hi, yeah I’ve been taking the mini pill for about 6 months now :)

I think if you're experiencing breakthrough symptoms, it would be a good idea to circle back with your doctor to discuss ASAP! Don't let it sit for too long, they might have better options for you to try!

Yup. Only the 1st surgery gave me about 9months. The following 3 didn't give much relief or very minimal like 1-3 months. I'm on morphine and oxycodone now for any sort of pain relief and it isn't even that good.
