I had endometriosis for a short while, the pain had me doubled over and sweating. This was in the late 1990s. I recently read that massaging the spot(s) helps, per research. My gyno at the time said massage wouldnt help, but i was like, if its just a bit of tissue on a microscopic nerve, why WOULDNT massage MAYBE move it a millimeter out of the way? So the research finally caught up with me. Plus it at least made me feel like i was doing SOMETHING.
