Lower back ache

Right, I've been having on/off lower back ache for god knows how long now - I have a feeling it is endo related. My mam has had endo and so has her mam including fibroids and cysts...you name it. Been on the mini-pill for just under a year now and I have a feeling any endo tissue has just been growing (I used to have horrendously heavy and painful periods where I was taking 3 codeine at one point to get rid of the pain)

HOWEVER, I am finally getting an ultrasound within the next few weeks so fingers crossed I can get to the bottom of it. Kinda hoping the ache isn't anything to do with my kidneys though!

Anybody else experienced this kind of on/off dull ache in their lower back? I am a huge worrier!

Hello! Well, there's a bit of a story - a few years ago I was rushed into hospital with severe tummy pain, the docs thought it was appendicitis - it turned out to be internal bleeding from my womb - my mam was with me who explained she had suffered for years with endo (as well as my nanna) but they didn't formally diagnose me. However, my last doctor suggested that I probably had it due to all the symptoms I had whilst I had my periods.

I hope that made sense

Hi there one of my main reasons for a laproscopy was the fact I suffered chronic lower back pain sometimes I'd be crawling on the floor as it was so painful right in the middle of my lower back. This was also alongside bowel problems I would be constipated and the pain would worsen. I had endometriosis on my bowel and on my pelvic wall. This was removed and I feel wonderful like someone has removed a lump from my back. Hope you feel better soon

Get yout pelvic floor checked. No one thinks of this. U need a physiotherapist to confirm. I was.just diagnosed and u will have chronic low back pain with it. I also had endo in 2007. Thought it was back but nothing there. Surgery weakens the pelvic floor. I've had 6 surgeries. U don't want to.keep having surgeries beleive me.
