Hello, I am 3 weeks post-laparoscopy. After years of pain, I have being diagnosed with stage 4. I had endometriosis removed from left pelvic side wall, right uterosacral ligaments, and rectovaginal space. I also had a right nephrectomy 3 years ago. With previous history of kidney reflux as a child(I am 37 now) I also have psoriatic arthritis, fibromyalgia, Vitiligo (about 40% of my body). During my appointment with the gynecologist, I never really mentioned my awful chest pain as I didn’t think it was something he would deal with (we have no specialists in endometriosis in Ireland) it was only after educating myself once I knew I had endometriosis that this awful chest pain/spasms/right shoulder blade pain I’ve been dealing with for years could actually in fact, be Endometriosis. I was just in A&E last night with the pain. They put me on IV, x-ray was clear, and the bloods ok. Referred me to cardiology and totally dismissed endo. I sit here me today still in pain with my chest; the tightness and stabbing feeling just won’t leave. Could I be right in thinking it’s endometriosis on my Diaphragm? Sorry for long post. I’m just worn down by feeling like no one listens. Thank you

Diaphragmatic endometriosis can represent with shoulder pain and chest pain. I have had patients with this condition.. You are not crazy. You should speak with the surgeon who just did your laparoscopy and discuss. Did he/she look into this? You have the symptoms but getting a thorough medical evaluation to rule out other conditions is also important.
