Dear all on this forum, I have a clinical and personal problem that some
of you may be able to help with.
My partner has long standing endometriosis and has now had 11 ops in 10
years. She is also now salicylate and NSAID sensitive after heavy
analgesic usage such that natural salicylates (she is of course a
vegitarian and most veggie food is high in salicylates!!) will trigger
angio attacks. We have had two airway compromise attacks,luckily I am
an ER director.
During the last laparoscopy, 2 weeks ago she was treated with intergel
to reduce adhesion formation. 2 days post treatment her pelvic pain
returned with a vengence, much worse than normal with marked pain on any
intra-pelvic movement. 6 days post treatment she started with angio
attacks that built up until she started on steroids last night. Now the
angio attacks and the pain are starting to fade.
Has anyone else seen or suffered a similar problem? I understand
angio-oedema has been seen more and more in the UK in patients with
chronic pain, particularly Endo, and wonder if my partner's pelvic pain
was local reaction to the surgery or the intergel. I'm pretty sure the
systemic attacks were the absorbed intergel
