After laparoscopy results

[Wafaafoffa]

Hi all, i was suffering from heavy bleeding and bad cramps and all pregnancy symptoms, after 2 yrs gp diagnosed me with endometriosis wich i removed mid August. Had my period 3 days after laparoscopy which was very painful. Now my problem is my lower left back pain that is constant and duno how to get rid of it. Has anyone experienced this and can anything help? Im waiting to go for IVF treatment soon as well i am bit scared that i won't be able to make it with the pain?? Any suggestions? Plz thanks

Yes, I've had the lower back pain! It's actually really common not just for women with endo but us generally as our core muscles are weak, this makes our lower back compensate which changes our posture by milimeters which can make all the difference.

My lower back pain was always present but the coccyx pain only showed after my laps and during my flare up days - it may be something similar to your left back pain

I replied to a lovely lady a while back querying back pain too; my physio says it's all related, explanation in the post!

I'm having regular monthly "maintenance" physio to help with my lower back and coccyx, which is going well, I now only have a slight ache during the first day of my flare ups.

It's not a quick solution; it'll take a bit of time with physio, core exercises and strengthening your back which may mean some at home exercises (google core strenthening). I started to notice improvement after two months. Physio works on the lower back, sacrum, hips and coccyx mobility, as often that whole area can be tight.

My GP just said try steroid injections, didn't mention physio so I had to look up ones locally myself, but it has helped so much.
