I've been dealing with this for about 6 years now, and it's still a mystery to me. I have terrible pain in my lower abdomen/lower back which comes and goes throughout the day and at night. It doesn't matter if I'm sitting, standing, laying down, curled up... it hurts no matter what. It hurts whether I need to use the bathroom or not, but is definitely worse when I do. However, after going to the bathroom doesn't relieve the pain, it makes it worse. The pain also happens without needing to go.
The pain stops altogether during my period. It never fails. I will hurt all month long and have just under a week of relief during my period. The moment my period starts, it's instant relief until a day after it's over.
Having sex, whether I orgasm or not, hurts as well. It doesn't hurt during sex though, it's always 5-10 minutes afterwards.
I have a prescription of 600mg Motrin for when it hurts, but the Motrin doesn't even touch it.
My gyno has ruled out endometriosis. Ultrasounds to check for uterine cycts and fibroids were positive, but we don't believe it's causing the pain either.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
