I was diagnosed with endometriosis and i started taking birth control pill however it is 9 days after my period and i am still in pain. please help!

Ibuprofene may help: The birth control pill will not reduce your pain, it will prevent your ovulation and reduce your pain for your next cycle. If you want immediate release of pain, take ibuprofene or motrin, 400 mg every hours with meal. You may get these medication from any pharmacy.
