i hurt so bad right now, i am on the mirena for about one and a half months, i called my doctor (whom doesnt spend enough time with me) and told him i hurt! BAD! I took the highest dose they approved me for ibuprofen (800) and He asked rudley (he was on call) what I wanted him to do?! I told him I need pain medication to avoid the hospital, he told me he didnt fill over the phone, then asked if it was urgent, i told him yes, then he completely flat out said no! I havent had pain in 1.5 months (which is huge with my endo) I normally take vicodin (500) and it does ok but tears my stomache apart, i didnt (and havent) felt he has been listening to me so I told him to send my charts to my old doctor and basically hung up, here i am in the middle of rite aid on the floor and he wont fill a prescription!
Another problem with having endo, I dont and dread going to the ER, I feel stupid, All they can tell me is I have endo...(yeah, i know!) and give me pain medicine, (I have anxiety, endo is a disease that varies so much and not many people know about it despite 1 in 10 woman suffering from it) I feel like i am going to get the same treatment that my doc gave me in the hospital!
I am sitting here, cant sleep, i hurt, heating pad no work, ibuprof no work, bath no work....I am about to bust into tears....why dont my doctors believe me?
I am so frustrated and i hurt!

I'm so sorry you are in so much pain. I have endo and completely understand. You need to find a good gyn that specializes in endo. It's a long process, you will need to ask them if the doc has patients with endo and how he treats them. It might take a while, but find a good doc because it makes a huge difference. By the way, it sounds like you need a lap which is surgery to remove the endo. That is the best treatment right now...
