A member asked:
I've had endometriosis & fibroid cysts. had surgery but still have bad cycles. is a muscle relaxer or pain med such as percocet or tramadol better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None of those: muscle relaxers may or may not give any relief and percocet and tramadol not meant for chronic use due to being addictive. Lupron (leuprolide) would be a better alternate. Also its fibroids in the uterus and fibrocystic changes in the breast. You likely have fibroids (benign tumors of the uterus). Surgery may help as well.
