Does endometriosis or hysterectomy cause herniated discs?

[givemeananswer]

Just noticed I'm not the only one with both of these dilemas, is there any correlation?

Hi I have had both too, Endo and 2 herniate discs.

I've still only hot a suspected endo diagnosis but yes about 6 months before it all started, my back went. Literally couldn't get out of bed,stand up,sit down,put clothes on without help. Doc gave me codeine and physio said disc bulge. It was almost lowest vertebra on back,just where hip bone crosses with spine.

I'm no scientist but maybe it's more likely if you have endo on uterosacral ligament..maybe the ligament getting damage puts strain in other places in your back.

I have exactly the same problem, I've had it lasered a few times. But it still comes back. When I walk it feels like like needles being pushed into my tummy. I can honestly sympathise with you, try taking pain killers up to bed, to take when you wake. That used to work for me, the gp has offered me morphene for the pain. I don't want to go down that road yet. Good luck.

I’m sure there is a link. Since my diagnosis and starting the hormone injections I’ve had two slipped discs. Think it must be my body realigning itself after years of contortions.
