Tearing/ripping feeling in lower abdomen area

Question

For the last 2 weeks I’ve been experiencing a tearing/ripping feeling in my lower abdomen/pelvic area when I do things such as cough, sneeze, turn over in bed, or even just move a certain way. It happens either on my left or right side, but I’ve noticed it’s worse and more painful on my left. This has happened to me occasionally in the past, but now it’s happening multiple times a day.

I have deep endo on my left USL (confirmed via specialized ultrasound from an endo clinic). They didn’t find it anywhere else on the imaging, but I’m wondering if it’s possible it could be somewhere else and they didn’t catch it (I know it doesn’t always show up on ultrasounds). I was also thinking about calling my doctor in the new year because this pain is probably the worst I’ve dealt with so far. It literally feels like something is being torn out from my insides. I’m worried they won’t be much help or be able to really do anything for me. I currently only take ibuprofen for pain management (doesn’t do much) and I started Norlutate about a month ago

Anyone else experience this? Where is your endo located?
