Sciatica and endo?

Hi! I’m 27F
I recently got diagnosed with endo, after my mri that showed endometriosis at my uterosacral ligaments and behind uterus
My doc suggested Yasmin pill because he said that the laparoscopy has risks and that it’s better to wait till after I give birth (when I will decide it if I want to) to do surgery.
I took it for 21 days then stopped and yesterday I got my period.
It’s the FIRST time in my life that I feel normal cramps. I am in pain but I can’t do things. My bleeding is moderate and I can walk (I used to not even be able to walk the first two days. Of my period)

The thing is from my back down to my knee I’m in so much pain. Nerve kind of pain.
Do you experience sciatica because of endo? I have this problem the last year where I have nerve pain all month
After my diagnosis I’m convinced that it’s the endo that is causing this. Any thoughts?

Anyone with deep infiltrating Endo in the uterosacral ligaments?

Hi! I’m 27F
After struggling for years with painful periods, and last two years only got worse, severe cramps ALL MONTH , fatigue, pain during sex, irregular cycles, and pelvic pain, I finally found a new doc because my previous said I was just anxious.
He immediately said I have endo.
I had a pelvic MRI with contrast. I was so scared because I read that 90% it won’t show in the MRI.

The MRI showed mild deep infiltrating Endometriosis involving the uterosacral ligaments behind the uterus (more prominent on the left side), but no bowel or bladder involvement. It also showed a polycystic appearance of my right ovary (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)

Does anyone else have the same ? Did birth control worked?
I started Yasmin before the MRI for symptom management, and the first couple of weeks have been emotionally and physically intense (headaches, breast pain, mood changes, fatigue), but I’m hoping things improve once my body adjusts

What are your thoughts?

I just don’t know how the symptoms will disappear.
I have back pain that goes down my legs (nerve pain) and it’s from endo.
Also the cramps all month etc.
