Endo Pain Relief
I'm a big fan of topical and over the counter pain relief methods for endometriosis. Even if they don't cure the pain, they help bring me some relief in really tough flare ups.
This cramp relief roll-on offers a menthol cooling sensation similar to BioFreeze, but it uses anti-inflammatory ingredients like magnesium and turmeric. I always keep this in my bag for quick pain relief.

This offers a little bit of a cooling sensation, but topical magnesium also helps to relax painful areas. I usually reach for this when I'm feeling crampy before bed to ease pain and help me wind down.

It may be harder to sleep after surgery than you expect (especially if you're normally a side sleeper like me)! This pillow is super supportive… and keeps you from accidentally rolling over in your sleep.
Momcozy U Shaped Full Body Pregnancy Pillow
This over the bed table is super handy if you're planning on eating, reading, coloring, or using the computer in bed after surgery.
