Backache after endometrial biopsy

Hi everyone, this is my first post. 
 

I had endometrial biopsy almost three weeks ago.  After bleeding on hrt my dr referred me for an ultrasound which showed I had thickening of 9mm.  I had biopsy within a couple of weeks but since the biopsy I've felt awful.  I've had a really dull ache in my stomach and terrible lower back ache.  Mentally I'm worried sick and generally I feel dreadful although before the biopsy I was actually ok apart from bleeding and sore breastst due to tue hrt.  I just wondered if anyone had felt this washed out and had stomach and back ache for what's getting on for three weeks now.   
 

Hope this all makes sense. X

    Hello Lynnieee68 and a warm welcome to Cancer Chat, 

    I've had a look at our page on the endometrial biopsy and it mentions that it is not unusual "to have period type pains (cramping) during or after this test. Mild painkillers such as paracetamol, should help to control any pain. You may have some vaginal bleeding for a couple of days afterwards". Your symptoms have been lasting three weeks though which is quite a long time so I would definitely give your GP a call and explain that you've experienced this dull ache in your stomach and lower back ache for three weeks now and that you are worried about it. Explain that this started right after you had the biopsy. 

    I hope that you manage to talk to a doctor about this soon and that you will also hear from other members of our forum who have had the same types of symptoms right after having an endometrial biopsy. 

    Best wishes,
