I had terrible pain in my back and hip, very close to my right ovary (which is where my endo pain seems to focus) all through my pregnancy. I was in a wheelchair for the last 3 months of my pregnancy and have now been on crutches for almost a year. Drs assumed it was SPD but wouldn't test or treat further due to risk to my baby. However, my baby is now 5 months old and the pain is still there. I was told throughout pregnancy that this could not possibly be due to endo because the hormones in pregnancy should mean that I don't get any pain whilst pregnant. A chiropractor helped for a few months, then that stopped working. I've now had months of physiotherapy, which helped a little, but then it got worse again. I've also had an MRI and X-rays which both show no significant issues (importantly, no SPD) that would explain my pain and lack of mobility. The MRI showed 'space' around my lumbar facet joints which the specialist interpreted as inflammation and gave me steroid injections. This helped for about 3 days, then I had a mid-cycle bleed and the pain all came back. Has anyone had experience of endo pain persisting through pregnancy? I'm desperate to find something that will help me get back on my feet but I have a horrible feeling the doctors are looking in the wrong place. They are still convinced the problem comes from the pressure on my pelvis during pregnancy, but after reading several threads about pain in the back and hip/legs on here I suspect my issue is possibly more to do with my endo than a structural problem. If no-one else has had pain during pregnancy then I will be more inclined to trust the drs, and at least rule out endo as the cause.
Thanks.
