Lower back pain and pain in the legs after standing

I have recently being diagnosed with endometriosis although I suspected for years. My worst symptoms are actually around ovulation time with painful bloating and bowel symptoms during the months. Since I remember(the last 20 years) I can’t stand or walk for long periods of time without having extreme leg pain that is connected to my lower back. When I finally sit down I feel the lower back pulling as well. I have had vascular tests and ultrasounds and nothing was found. Chiros/physio/ myo give all a different reason for it but it has never improved. Now I wonder if it’s connected to the endometriosis? Anyone has similar symptoms?

Sleeping HR - too high?

On the 27/6 I had a recovery rate of 82% and today I got 29%. Looking at both sleeping HR data, they are both similar. Is this too high? I have endometriosis and Hashimoto’s.I’m always tired.

Has anyone managed to bring this down? Lifestyle, supplements?

Thanks

Smart ring/apple watch 11 or whoop?

I'm trying to decide what to buy next and would love to hear from people who've actually used these devices.
Current setup:
Apple Watch Series 8

Bevel for interpreting all my health data (which has honestly been surprisingly accurate for me)

I'm considering:
RingConn Gen 3

Oura Ring 4

Whoop (mainly for the new vascular/blood pressure-related insights)

Or simply upgrading my Apple Watch 8 to an Apple Watch 11.

My priorities aren't fitness or sports. I'm much more interested in health monitoring and spotting trends.
A bit of background:
I had postpartum hypertension that came out of nowhere, and although my blood pressure is usually normal now, I've had a few unexplained spikes since. Because of that, I'm quite anxious about cardiovascular health and would really value anything that provides meaningful vascular trends or hypertension-related insights (I know none of these devices actually diagnose or continuously measure blood pressure).

I also have endometriosis and Hashimoto's, so I'm interested in tracking inflammation, recovery, HRV, resting heart rate, sleep quality, temperature trends, etc., to see if I can identify patterns around flares.

Since I already use Bevel, I'm wondering whether a ring would actually add meaningful data, whether Whoop's vascular features are worth the subscription, or whether the Apple Watch 11's new health features make it the better upgrade.
If you were starting today, which would you choose and why?
