Hi Rachel, thanks for the response. No I work from home and am on the go chasing my 2 year old around. I do get plenty of exercise. I walk almost everyday weather permitting. The leg problems started back in November, but have been getting worse. I do notice the symptoms more around the time of ovulation and my period. That's why I believe that it's my endo. I just don't know what's going on. I actually tried massage therapy once. It was great for a while, but the pressure started hurting badly to the point that I could only go once a month when I wasn't in so much pain. Even then it really drained me. My joints have been feeling a little better lately. I'm trying a natural supplement that seems to be helping the aches in my joints. I just can't seem to understand the numbness and pains. Doctor seems to think there is a possibility of the endo affecting nerves. It's up to me to decide if I should try to get pregnant or have a surgery. My husband and I have been wanting to try again, but it's very painful for me, so we're kind of stuck at this point.

Thank you so much for responding, I do hope you are feeling well :)
