Lower back pain followed by upper back pain?

Hi ladies,

In the past, I've had light twinges in my lower back but the majority of my "bad" pains have been in my pelvis, stomach, and legs.

Over the last few days, I've had severe shooting pains in the base of my back which feel just like the endo pains I've had elsewhere. I'm 99% sure the pains are endo related as they're shooting off into my pelvis and my hips, and the sensation is all too familiar.

After the first bout of lower back, i now randomly have upper back pain (sort of between my shoulder blades) which feels very different - it's more of a constant, dull ache. It's not responding to pain killers and heat isn't really helping either.

Could this upper back pain be endo related too, or could I have just hurt it by tensing up during the other pain?

Any help/advice would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Zoe

You could easily have unaligned yourself by compensating for the leg, back and stomach pain.

I do it all the time and so I just regularly go to my physio.

My mum once had a twist in her ankle and the pain was coming out in her neck! The body is such a weird thing so just go see someone to get realligned :)

Hi try and find yourself a good osteo, I have pelvic problems with endo and it throws out back/shoulders/neck even knees and elbows. I swear osteopathy has kept me mobile and sane!

GPS and gynaecologist May just give you stronger painkillers which just masks misalignment.

Good luck :)
