So I'm 28 years old, have been suffering chronic pain for about 4 years now. My surgery is tentatively July 27th, hopefully earlier. Back to the pain, I have/had severe endometriosis and have awful pain. Anyone else have this issue and with weight loss their pain has been reduced, if so how quickly? I'm on high doses of pain meds, and really don't want to be on them so any feedback would be great.

Thank you!!!

My chronic pain is related to a spinal cord injury so I have neurogenic pain in both legs and feet. I think that what has helped is the weight loss reducing some of the pressure on my legs, but I can't say my pain has improved tremendously yet. It hasn't gotten worse either. I'm only 3 weeks post surgery. I truly hope the surgery does reduce your chronic pain.

Risa, I also suffered from severe endo for most of my life, now I suffer chronic pain from crumbling bones as a direct result of the drugs I took to fight that damn disease. I guess I know as much about endo as anyone, was even sent to Johns Hopkins to meet the best in the country to save my organs long enough to have a baby. I do know that pressure on those adhesions and scar tissue is going to add to the pain, and certainly the back pain should be helped. There is no cure, all my organs are long gone and my bladder and bowel have never recovered but I'm better, now to save my bones. We also have scar tissue that the sugery will have to deal with, I'm praying it's not a problem, I had a bunch of surgeries. I am also on pain med for the broken back, that's why I'm being sleeved, unlike the ruen y, the sleeve alows us to take the meds we need because of better absorbtion. I know you will feel better, I'm counting on me feeling better as well.
