I recently had a big realisation about my daily life with chronic pain… [an explanation about my latest reel] And that is that I rarely make time to do fun things. Things that bring me joy. Why? Because I’m constantly considering my actions I do in a day. I can only do so much, so the big question I ask myself is: “Is this something I need to do or I want to do?” If it’s a need-to action, like doing chores in the house, working and resting, then I put that as my number one priority. All the things I want to do, like going out to concerts or museums, seeing my friends, taking a vacation etc. are being put on the back burner. If I choose a fun thing over a must-do thing, I will feel a lot of guilt, shame and anxiety. My hyper-independent self must NOT be reliant on others, so I will sacrifice fun. Yeah, no wonder I’ve been feeling so low, depressed and anxious lately. There is no balance in my life right now, so I’ve now made it my priority to bring that back. How can I do things I need to do AND things I want to do in one day without feeling guilty or having any repercussions with my pain? Once I have the answer I will let you know 😉 #chronicpain #chronicpelvicpain #chronicpainmemes #chronicillness #chronicpelvicpainisnotnormal #chronicpainlife #adenomyosis #endometriosis #periodpain #undiagnosedillness #undiagnosedpain #chronicpelvicpainsyndrome #chronicpainawareness #pelvicpain #pelvicpainawareness

A very accurate representation of my daily pain 💔 I’ve always got sharp stabbing pains on the left side, that radiate into my hips and down my leg, it also constantly feels like there’s a balloon on that side. I feel bloated with endo belly nearly every day, and the pain is just everywhere, all the time. I rarely get ‘good days’ now. I just want this to be over. 🥺🎗️Credit to @aiiisling for the beautiful artwork 🫶 #endowarrior #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #chronicpainwarrior #chronicillnessawareness #chronicpainawareness #chronicpelvicpainisnotnormal #endobelly #endobellysucks #findacureforendometriosis #endoisabitch #womenwithendo #womenwithendometriosis #womensupportingwomen #fightlikeagirl #endosisters #endometriosisuk #pelvicpain #endometriosissupport #endopain #endosurgery #endo #endometriosissucks #endoflareup #invisibleillness #fyp #viral #trending #explorepage #1in10

Chronic pelvic pain is so much more than just experiencing pelvic pain. 🥺 When we’ve been in pain for a long time it can start to affect all aspects of our life. We often hear that the pain associated symptoms (like fatigue, brain fog, bloating) are actually worse than the pain itself. 🤕 Do you struggle with some of these things? We’d love to hear from you in the comments 🤎 #chronicpelvicpain #chronicpelvicpainsyndrome #chronicpelvicpainwarrior #chronicpelvicpainisnotnormal

☀️ A very rare good day… probably the only day in about 3 months I actually felt relatively normal! Actually had a full nights sleep for the first time in months and managed to walk around gently, shopping in the afternoon. But then BOOM! 💥 The evening comes and I’m back to painsomnia. Didn’t sleep till gone 5am, and woke up at 8am unable to get back to sleep, despite upping my Amitriptyline. I wish I could have more good days, but I’m grateful for just the one for now. I just hope there’s more of them and better nights too 🤞 just because someone looks okay on the outside, doesn’t mean that they are. 💛 #endowarrior #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #chronicpainwarrior #chronicillnessawareness #chronicpainawareness #chronicpelvicpainisnotnormal #endobelly #endobellysucks #findacureforendometriosis #endoisabitch #womenwithendo #womenwithendometriosis #womensupportingwomen #fightlikeagirl #endosisters #endometriosisuk #pelvicpain #endometriosissupport #endopain #endosurgery #endo #endometriosissucks #endoflareup #invisibleillness #fyp #viral #trending #explorepage #1in10

Let me tell you about pelvic pain awareness month ❤️‍🩹 Chronic pelvic pain is NOT normal!! Pelvic pain occurs in the area below your belly button and above the tops of your legs. It is normal to have 1 or two days of discomfort, especially round your period. But if this pain is consistent and unable to be relieved with OTC pain relief, and lasts for over 6 months- it is considered chronic. Please see your doctor for full investigations if you are going through this. You are not alone. 🎗️💛 credit- @bertiemaidesigns. #endowarrior #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #chronicpainwarrior #chronicillnessawareness #chronicpainawareness #chronicpelvicpainisnotnormal #endobelly #endobellysucks #findacureforendometriosis #endoisabitch #womenwithendo #womenwithendometriosis #womensupportingwomen #fightlikeagirl #endosisters #endometriosisuk #pelvicpain #endometriosissupport #endopain #endosurgery #endo #endometriosissucks #endoflareup #invisibleillness #fyp #viral #trending #explorepage #1in10

Painsomnia- this is definitely how I’ve been feeling for about a month now. I’ve been getting about 2 hours sleep every night, very weary of my pain and how I’m positioning myself in bed to control the pain and discomfort. The Amitriptyline has not touched my pain, nor does it make me feel drowsy or sleepy- I may as well be swallowing sugar cubes 🤦‍♀️ Even tried Valerian extract, Horlicks- you name it! Got an appointment with my GP tomorrow for a full examination, so let’s hope something good comes out of it 🤞🎗️ #endowarrior #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #chronicpainwarrior #chronicillnessawareness #chronicpainawareness #chronicpelvicpainisnotnormal #endobelly #endobellysucks #findacureforendometriosis #endoisabitch #womenwithendo #womenwithendometriosis #womensupportingwomen #fightlikeagirl #endosisters #endometriosisuk #pelvicpain #endometriosissupport #endopain #endosurgery #endo #endometriosissucks #endoflareup #invisibleillness #fyp #viral #trending #explorepage #1in10

Let’s talk about nervous system dysregulation and why it matters for people with chronic pelvic pain. ♥️ When our nervous system senses danger it activates our sympathetic nervous system. Our adrenal glands are activated to make stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline to mobilise us to try and keep us safe 🩸 In a healthy nervous system, when the threat is gone, we can move out of our sympathetic state. When we’re chronically stressed sometimes we can get stuck in a survival state. Some of the signs of this are: 😣 Restlessness 😡 Anger and irritability 😰 Heightened anxiety 🤯 Inability to relax We can start to sense danger everywhere, including within our own body. 😔 When we’re in this state a few things can happen in our body: Our brain can start to interpret non painful things (wearing tight pants, going out in the cold) as being painful 🧠 Our muscles in the affected area, particularly our pelvic floor muscles, can become tight and tense to try protect us. When these muscles have been tight for a long time they can go into spasm, which feels like stabbing severe pelvic pains and is a common cause for people presenting to the emergency department 🤕 Our gut can also be affected and can cause painful bloating, pain, diarrhoea and/or reflux 💩 In the process of TRYING to keep us safe and help us our brain and nervous system can actually contribute to worsening of our symptoms. This is very powerful to know about because we CAN do things to address this by a) acknowledging this might be happening to us and b) learning tools to bring us back to safety where we’re less likely to experience ongoing pain. We teach some of these tools in the Ella app 💛 #chronicpelvicpain #chronicpelvicpainsyndrome #chronicpelvicpainwarrior #chronicpelvicpainisnotnormal

Let’s talk Adhesions! 🩺🎗️These pesky horrible things have caused me a lot of pain over the years as well as the endo. Fusing the front of my uterus to my bladder, and the back of my uterus to my bowel. So it was all stuck together, unable to move around freely like it should. It is likely I will always keep getting them due to the surgeries, but I will do whatever it takes to suppress the pain that they cause. #endowarrior #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #chronicpainwarrior #chronicillnessawareness #chronicpainawareness #chronicpelvicpainisnotnormal #endobelly #endobellysucks #findacureforendometriosis #endoisabitch #womenwithendo #womenwithendometriosis #womensupportingwomen #fightlikeagirl #endosisters #endometriosisuk #pelvicpain #endometriosissupport #endopain #endosurgery #endo #endometriosissucks #endoflareup #invisibleillness #fyp #viral #trending #explorepage #1in10

This is feedback from one of our lovely beta testers 🥲 One of the big things we teach in the Ella App is a modern understanding of pain neuroscience. We talk about pain and how pain pathways work and what the latest research says. 🤓 We also talk about the fact that there is in fact *not* just one area of the brain involved in pain and pain processing (why things are more complex!) 🧠 We hope that by better understanding what is going on in your body with ongoing pelvic pain this will give you new ways of managing pain. 💕 #chronicpelvicpain #chronicpelvicpainsyndrome #chronicpelvicpainwarrior #chronicpelvicpainisnotnormal #chronicpelvicpainawareness

Endometriosis (end-oh-me-tree-oh-sis)- a chronic disease where the uterine lining grows outside of the uterus. Causing severe pain, not just during a period, heavy periods, abdominal bloating, fatigue and infertility. It does not only affect the female reproductive system, but it has been found on every organ of the body. It affects 1 in 10 women worldwide. Symptoms can be suppressed with hormone therapies, pain killers and surgery. There is currently no cure. ‘But just trust me, you’ll be fine’. You are not alone. 🎗️🫶 #endowarrior #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #chronicpainwarrior #chronicillnessawareness #chronicpainawareness #chronicpelvicpainisnotnormal #endobelly #endobellysucks #findacureforendometriosis #endoisabitch #womenwithendo #womenwithendometriosis #womensupportingwomen #fightlikeagirl #endosisters #endometriosisuk #pelvicpain #endometriosissupport #endopain #endosurgery #endo #endometriosissucks #endoflareup #invisibleillness #fyp #viral #trending #explorepage #1in10

Has your journey looked a bit like this too? 🤎 We talk to a LOT of people with chronic pelvic pain and many of their journeys have looked a bit like this. Period or pelvic pain at a young age, tried different pills, treatments and even surgeries, often more than one surgery. Many continue to experience pain despite these things. 🤕 We’d love it too if there was a simple cure for chronic pelvic pain. If your journey was as simple as symptoms ➡️ diagnosis ➡️ treatment ➡️ pain free If you’re suffering from chronic pelvic pain we want you to know you’re not alone. And your journey, which may look a bit like this, is one that is shared with many many other women too. ❤️‍🩹 Let us know in the comments what your experience has been 🥺 #chronicpelvicpain #chronicpelvicpainsyndrome #chronicpelvicpainwarrior #chronicpelvicpainisnotnormal #chronicpelvicpainawareness

I just had an overwhelming post op that didn’t go as positively as I was hoping, a mix of good and bad for sure. So this may not be my most coherent post but I’m processing how I feel about everything. I wish something medical could go simply for once. it’s so hard being on such a long journey, with no forseeable end in sight. I wish that i wasn’t always such a complicated patient. I wish that it was easier to manage my pain. I wish that even one of my (many) conditions could be easily treated. I wish that for once i could be in the majority of patients that a procedure worked fully for. I wish that my doctor didn’t throw out all of his medication pain management suggestions and then look discouraged when I told him I’m already on all of them. I wish i didn’t have to choose between (likely) a lifetime of chronic pelvic pain and another surgery. I wish that i hadn’t gone through 15+ procedures and surgeries with at least 80% success rates, none of which worked for me. I wish new doctors didn’t always comment on my extensive list of diagnoses and medications. Have you been through any of this?

I want to open up about my symptoms today. The six symptoms listed in the image are just the handful of them all, but still the biggest ones that impact my daily life the most: • pelvic and lower back pain every single day • pain during and after exercising • pain during and after s*x • issues with my guts and bladder • extreme fatigue • increased pain during my periods - though luckily due to birth control I haven’t had mine for 2 years Other symptoms of mine are: • extreme bloating • pain in my (upper) legs • anxiety I want to be honest and straightforward about this, because I know that there are lots of women out there who experience the same I do. Having chronic pelvic pain isn’t just having pain, it’s a whole range of problems that come to the surface on a daily basis. If you recognize yourself in the symptoms I have, let this be proof that you are not the only one.

Tackling pain system hypersensitivity doesn’t have to be complex… and you don’t have to do it alone 🤎 We talk to a lot of people with chronic pelvic pain. Many have had lots of tests and treatments and still experience daily pain that prevents them from doing the things that matter to them. Pain system hypersensitivity is something that can happen when we experience ongoing pain everyday. Our brain and nervous system can undergo changes that make us experience pain at lower and lower thresholds.. eventually everyday. It can also cause other symptoms. The GOOD news is that these changes can be reversed… this is called neuroplasticity. 🧠 We teach you ways you can do this in the Ella App!

Speaks for itself really… 🎗️Most people think there’s nothing wrong with me, they think I’m faking my symptoms to get attention or time off etc… it’s really frustrating. I’m genuinely putting my life on hold, any plans on hold because of this illness. I hope they never have to go through anything like this, because some days when nothing is working (medications, heat therapy etc) it really is unbearable. Crying on the floor in a ball, wishing and waiting for meds to kick in and for the pain to subside so I can just even have a shower. And the worst part… it’s invisible. Sometimes I wish it was visible on the outside, so people could actually understand and SEE my pain. #endowarrior #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #chronicpainwarrior #chronicillnessawareness #chronicpainawareness #chronicpelvicpainisnotnormal #endobelly #endobellysucks #findacureforendometriosis #endoisabitch #womenwithendo #womenwithendometriosis #womensupportingwomen #fightlikeagirl #endosisters #endometriosisuk #pelvicpain #endometriosissupport #endopain #endo #endometriosissucks #endoflareup #invisibleillness #viral #trending #explorepage

News flash: resting helps against brain fog 😶‍🌫️🥰 I have more clarity in my mind, I can focus on a certain thing for a longer period of time and overall: I am feeling better mentally! Physically is still a whole different story, but there are some exciting developments happening soon. More on that later… I started reading this book ‘The Hurricane Wars’ on Saturday and reached halfway through the book yesterday! Honestly the sunny and warm weather really helps too. There is just something about reading outside in the sunshine that hits different. I’m enjoying this book so far. If you have any book recommendations, let me know!

Hi! ☺️ I thought I’d start with a little post about me. I’m Tiffany, a 30 year old Nurse Practitioner from Oxfordshire 🇬🇧 . I was diagnosed with endo at age 19, following years of heavy and painful periods. I then soon collapsed at home, as an endometrioma/chocolate cyst twisted on my left ovary, so it had to be removed. They then found a lot of endo that also had to be removed. Two years later I was struggling with the pain again, they couldn’t see my left ovary on the ultrasound and found it to be stuck down when they went in again. I’ve had two further surgeries since then with more and more endo found each time. My last laparoscopy showed my uterus was fused to my bladder and also my bowel… so many adhesions and lesions making life unbearably painful. Since December 2023, the pain has been coming back with a vengeance, now radiating into my hip and down my leg which I now require Tramadol for. Again my left ovary couldn’t be seen on the ultrasound. I’m currently in the process of fighting for my 5th laparoscopy for this condition. It’s an unbearably painful condition and it’s now affecting every aspect of my life. 💔 So I’ve started this little space on Instagram to raise awareness and to let anyone know who’s going through the same thing that they are not alone 🎗️💛 #endowarrior #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #chronicpainwarrior #chronicillnessawareness #chronicpainawareness #chronicpelvicpainisnotnormal #endobelly #endobellysucks #findacureforendometriosis #endoisabitch #womenwithendo #womenwithendometriosis #womensupportingwomen #fightlikeagirl #endosisters #endometriosisuk #pelvicpain #endometriosissupport #endopain #endosurgery #endo #endometriosissucks #endoflareup #invisibleillness

Since my chronic pelvic pain (+ other symptoms) have started back in 2019, I’ve had one diagnosis so far that got retracted not even a year later. Read my story here 🫶 Text: “April is Adenomyosis Awareness Month. I have experienced first hand why this month is so important. In November 2022, I was diagnosed with adenomyosis. I had so many questions that couldn’t be answered by my gynaecologist at the time. In 2023, I went for a second opinion at a different hospital. They couldn’t find anything on the ultrasound and MRI. “Take the IUD” was the only recommendation I left the hospital with. Adenomyosis is a serious diagnosis and should be treated as such by medical professionals.“ #chronicpain #chronicpelvicpain #chronicpainmemes #chronicillness #chronicpelvicpainisnotnormal #chronicpainlife #adenomyosis #endometriosis #periodpain #undiagnosedillness #undiagnosedpain #chronicpelvicpainsyndrome #chronicpainawareness #pelvicpain #pelvicpainawareness #adenomyosis #adenomyosisawareness🎗️ #misdiagnosis
