Lower back pain

[Littledisneyprincess]

Hi, I am going insane with the pain at the bottom of my back, right in the middle. It is going right through to my tummy, does anyone else experience the back pain? GP suspects Endo because of other symptoms, Gyne was very nice, and lap is in a month. It is impacting on all of my life, unable to work a full week, it tends to be worse at certain times in the month, but it never leaves me.

Hi sorry to hear you are suffering. I get the same problem. When my normal cramping goes I'm left with back pain that makes it difficult to walk or get comfortable and sleep is impossible. My mum suggested a tens machine which I have found helps a little to get me comfy. And a hot water bottle. They don't help much but provide a little relief. Hope you feel better soon and your lap goes well xx

Thank you so much, glad I am not alone. Yes I feel I constantly walk about with hot water bottle or heat pads. The nurofen are affecting me now, and I cant take co-codamol and function! Thank you, xx

I know exactly what you mean about the backache going through into your stomach, I get this and like yourself at different intensities through the month, I find only tramadol takes the edge off when it’s bad. It also goes down my left leg and i too am struggling with working full time 😔

I’ve recently had an MRI as they suspect deep infiltrating endo due to my symptoms, I’m back to my gynaecologist tomorrow. 18 months of back and forth between gynaecologist and gastroenterologist and different tests. I just want to be comfortable

Good luck with your lap x

Glad I am not the only one! But I am sorry you are in so much pain! Do you know it’s only in last few weeks I have felt pain in my hips and in the tops of thighs.

I Am starting to feel sick sometimes taking my tablets, will maybe need to see what else they can give me! How did you get on today? You don’t have to say! Hope it went well!

Take care xx
