Lower Back Pain. Both Side of Stomach and Pelvic Cramping

[Littlebug77]

Anyone get lower back pin that’s not your back but it feels deep as well as pelvic pain.

The back pain redacted to the side of my atom and from of stomach and pelvic pain and period cramping. When I initially told doctors they told me to do back exercise but it feels deep in my back.

As well as this having the worst sharp pains with the iud that occur intermittent which cause weakness and numbness in my feet and legs - also dizzy and vomiting.

Literally makes me want to vomit man as I’m having a weird period with the mirena coil I bleed heavily with huge clots for a day and then stop and continue spotting with clots.

The pain makes me feel so unwell, vomiting and dizzy.

Am I the only person with this ?!! 😢

Hi Mia1803,

I’m so sorry you’re going through this 😞.

I suffer with all of these symptoms unfortunately.

A lower back pain that eases superficially when I massage it a bit but feels like it’s set deeper into my back.

Pain in both sides of my stomach - again, deeper than just the surface, no matter how hard I try and explain it to people it’s really difficult to get across where the pain is. The only way I can describe it is my ovaries have their own period pain.

Pelvic cramping - I don’t get this daily but often I find my pelvis is “stuck” and I’m kind of scared to move it because it feels like it won’t move. And I do get deep pelvic pain almost daily.

I had a laparoscopy in January 2022 and was found to have endometriosis in my Pouch of Douglas and rectum (grim I know). I’m currently waiting for the endometriosis specialist at my local hospital to call me to discuss the benefits and disadvantages of surgery to remove it.

Obviously there would be other reasons for your symptoms - it could be gastro related or Gynae related - and I’m not a doctor so I wouldn’t take my word for it that you deffo have anything. But it’s well worth you speaking to a GP, going through your symptoms and asking for a referral to Gynae.

I hope you’re ok, it’s awful living with a pain you can’t really describe to other people! But there’s an online community here that is always here to help! X
