Does Mirena And Endometriosis Cause Burning Pain In Upper Stomach?

Hi, I am 37 yrs old. I am getting over an ER visit 1/1/14. My symptoms were debilitating with screaming pains in the upper stomach that felt like burning or stabbing. I couldn t walk or stand, became severely fatigued, weak dizzy, bloatness and severe loss of appetite. I was told that I had diverticulitis and given 2 antibiotics and pain meds, however, when my GI doctor got my ER recs, I didn t have it, but looked like I had colitis instead. I also take Amitiza every couple to few days to have a BM since I have a history of maybe going every 4-5 days. I also have had the Mirena 7.5 months and have endometriosis as well. Could these 2 things be causing my pain? Please help!

Good day!
Mirena does not have any association with that. But endometriotics are predisposed to gastric dysmotility issues and colititis and constipation etc more than general population so Stay in touch with your gastroenterologist, treat the Gynae causes and use fibrous soft diet with avoidance of perversions in diet to avoid troubles. Be compliant with medicines, Setay in touch with your doctors, DO as directed and hope for the best
good luck
