Hello. I'm 24 years old and I'm pretty sure I have endo. I'm going back to the dr tomorrow and I really hope I can convince them to do a lap. I've had abdominal and pelvic pain since last July. I've been to the emergency room, had ultrasounds and CT scans, and no one can find anything. I have some symptoms I've been able to identify: abdominal pain, pelvic pain, sciatic pain, back pain, bouts of frequent urination in the absence of infection, and I have found a little nodule in the skin tissue in the mid-pelvic region, but it really feels like it's deep in the tissue, not on the uterus or anything. But if I've been pressing on it I'm in pain for the next 3 days. And the docs aren't sure WHAT that is. But I also have pain from clothing. I have to wear pants about a size too big or I'm in terrible pain. Does anyone else have this issue?

Yeah i do Manda, clothes aggravate my pain badly.
Ive invested in alot of skirts, and rarely wear pants, i have found that pants that sit on your hips and have a wide band are a little more comfortable and dont aggravate the pain as badly.
For a while, i was like you, and never wore anything that made the pain worse, im less concerned about it now, but alot of my wardrobe is now more suitable than it use to be, i do occasionally wear jeans if i think i can stand the pain (mind u, its also when i know im gonna be drunk, i dont know about anyone else but when im drunk, the pain becomes a background twinge, but its not a solution by any means).
Ive never gone the size too big with pants, but am rather fussy when i buy them, i remember shopping with my husband for pants, and after hours of searching for something that didnt aggravate i came home with nothing and cried (blasted hormones).
So skirts became the solution, can get some very flattering skirts that are extremely comfortable, people just come to know u as a person that likes skirts and dresses. I use to wear pants alot, it was a big change for me, but one well worth it.

Yup...right there with you!!! I wear loose jeans or they have to have lycra...thank god for lycra. I sit all day at my job and I have shooting pains down my leg so I cannot wear anything tight.
I bloat alot my waist size changes from week to week also. The pants that were tight the day before are now falling off me.

god i hate bloating, its the bane of my existence (well one of, lol)
It seems such a stupid pointless symptom, id love to be rid of it. I only get it around my period, but it can start up to 2weeks before my period, so i have to wait to bleed to look normal again.
I hate hate hate it. its vanity i know, but it really aggravates me, coz there are some days i cant wear certain clothes, coz i look so awful in them.
