I have asked a few questions already concerneing endometriosis. I am currently on Neproxin for pain. I was wondering if anyone knew of good pain relieve. I am interested in any thoughts. Also if there are herbal remedies that help?

I have suffered with endo for years. I have found no pain reliever to eleviate the pain. I also tried acupunture which didn't help. Motrin can help a little but not enough. If your pain is that severe, then consider the surgery. I had the surgery but I only had one month of relief before it came back. After I have my baby, I plan on having both of my ovaries removed to help with the pain as my doctor recommends. Good Luck with your pain management.

I really don't think any herbal rememdies are going to help with your problem. Endometriosis is caused by the uterine lining attaching itself to other organs such as the ovaries. They can cause cysts from this transference as well. I had a severe case of it and nothing helped for the pain. It got so bad it hurt to sit down or even try to urinate. You've heard of people joking about feeling like they have a red hot poker being put inside them--well, that's pretty much how it felt. After suffering for many months I finally went to an OB/GYN doctor for advice and then to a general surgeon for a second opinion. I ended up having surgery--the best thing that ever happened to me. It's best to have a doctor physically examine you to determine how much yours has progressed and then let him make a recommendation. Good luck.

www.nih.gov -- they have lots of info
I also have endometriosis and I get stuff from www.endoknow.com -- if you put your profile and email address they will send you stuff on it too. They sent me a cool video all about it.
WebMD -- then you type in endometriosis in the search box and it will give you tons of information.
there is another site called
www.endofacts.com.
and www.healthywomen.org.
there is a medication called Lupron Depot® (leuprolide acetate for depot suspension) is indicated for the management of endometriosis, including pain relief and reduction of endometriotic lesions. The most common side effects with Lupron Depot are generally those related to hypoestrogenism, including vasomotor flushes, headaches and vaginal dryness. A small amount of bone loss (average 3.2% at month six) may also occur during therapy with Lupron Depot, but usually is partially or completely recovered after you stop taking Lupron Depot.
I know what it is like and I wish every women in the world would look on these sites and get more information on endometriosis.
The more educated we are, the more we know how to handle disease like these.
Good luck

This is a page I found for you on Endometriosis. It really goes in depth on it.
Also its says on this page that Vitex and Black Cohosh herbal products would work.

Read the articles on Dr. John Lee's site at http://www.johnleemd.com.
Endometriosis is an estrogen-driven disease.
It can be reversed simply by supplementing with bioidentical progesterone cream. Progesterone is our body's natural "anti-estrogen" and will fix estrogen dominance signals like endo and fibroids.

Neoproxin is okay but its not really for that.
Its a muscle anti inflammatory.
Good old fashioned Ibuprofen (advil) 550mg is the best.
See a herbalist, for a special mixture of homeopathic items to help you with the issues.
Sacredgroveapothacary.org has special herbal teas for menstration and cramps that really really work. They taste like ***, so be prepared, but they work.
I have had a lifetime of problems with it. REALLY look into your diet and exercise plans as well.
