Lower back pain after menstruation has ended

I have always suffered with back period pain, and painful periods for first few days, always accompanied by diarrhoea and had  a regular cycle until the last 18 months where I either didn't have period for a few months or I had prolonged, heavy period.

 

I have had lower back period pain every day now for 3 months.  I have an appointment at Gynae mid December.  I had 4 bleeds in 6 weeks and then the pain started, I went to Doc after 3 weeks and he put me on cocodomol, several visits and out of hours clinic visits later and I am now on 30/500 Cocodomol, 2 every four hours,  3 x 50mg Tramadol daily, Busocpan 2 every four hours and Doclofenac suppositories 100mg once a day.  I have worked out all the times so I am taking everything regularly, even throughout the night, and, I am STILL in pain, mild if I rest, strong if I am on my feet too long.  I did miss a couple of doses of meds in the night when my alarm didn't go off and boy did I know it for a couple of days.  Surely, with all this medication I shouldn't be experiencing any pain, or be totally monged out ?  I have also had amitriptylene but that was replaced with Tramadol.

 

I have had an abdominal scan and TransVaginal Scan, a cyst on each ovary and a small fibroid were found but "not significant to symptoms".  It's in my head that it is Endometriosis, my mother had it and I read you are more likley to if a mother or sister has/had it.

I also experience cramps, burning sensation in area of ovaries, either one at a time or both at a time, also a feeling of fullness (like a full bladder) but under my ribs, this comes and goes, and a stitch like feeling accompanied by a bruised feeling to the right of my ribs and round to my back.  My upper and lower abdomen gurgle and bubble, a lot, especially after eating. There are other niggly things but I feel like a hyperchondriac!! 

 

I also suffer with IBS, and asthma and have read that these can be linked with endo.  

 

Am I doing my own head in or does this sound like Endo to anyone?  Could it be to do with my bowel?  All I know is I am fed up with the pain, I have two jobs and now cannot work.  Any comments would be gladly appreciated.  Sorry to ramble :(

Well I have lower pelvic pain that goes all around to my back about two years ago I had a right nephrectomy cause I found out I had Kidney Cancer well after my second Kid I went into Menopause at 28 years old so I end up letting the doctor give me a shot come to find out my back was fractured and it was actually healing on its own but I had problems with it for about 4 years Now the pain has returned FULL FORCE and Nobody seem to be able to find out whats wrong with me I am very persistent when it come down to my health because if you dont see about yourself NoBody else will do it.  the doctors was about to put me out that day I found out about my back they was saying aint nothing wrong with you and i assisted that they check my back then cause something is causing me great pain

Read the book What your doctor doesnt tell you about menopause. It helped me out a lot. you could be going through perimenopause. I am 46 but started with similar symptoms 2 years ago. I now use progesterone cream and has helped a lot. I went to an obgyn that balances hormones!

Hi,
Read your story and got chills. My life is on hold I'm in bed 3 weeks out of the month. I can't work or take care of my child.
Have you had any diagnosis,?
I hope all is well.
Thanks

Hello endo sisters. It took 15 yrs 3 gyn to get help. Endo was so bad I couldn't sit or stand more than 2hrs. Had de vinci lap done, found berry size cyst in between colon and uterus, removed. Plus microscopic Endo in body cavity!!! Can't remove. I am so glad I prayed hard for yrs and got answers. My female issues are not resolved completely. We are complicated as estrogen not easy to manage. Don't give up. Work with your doctor. I pray for you all alot. Your not alone!!!

Same with me too

Ialso have that problem. I've only had one period so far but everytime I sit my lower back really hurts. It's agonizingly painful. My period ended three weeks ago and it still hurts.it even hurt during my period.

Hey. Did you get any answers to your post......I am experiencing the same thing.

I have the same thing, horrific pain day after period until day 16 of menstrual cycle. (Day 6-16 of cycle) Did you find relief from your pain yet? It's been 4 months now, I don't think I can handle another month.

Why do ladies get this I am facing same problem till date please need some advise

I started my cycle two weeks early, and now it is two weeks later, and I am having pain in my back and around my ovaries. What could be wrong?
