Lower left abdominal/side/back pain

Starting in January I’ve had this pain in my lower left side that radiates around my back and down my front pelvic area. I’ve had a transvaginal ultrasound showed nothing, blood and urine are clear, I have irregular very heavy with a lot of clotting menstruation. A few weeks ago I had laparoscopy looking for endometriosis nothing. My dr noted I have a very deep pelvis which is odd I’m only 5’1. I’ve had an endometrial biopsy come back clear. This pain was so intense in January I was unable to walk I missed over a months worth of work. When I massage my back where it hurts there is a hard “mass” I have no idea what it could be. The pain feels as if I’m walking around with a 10 ft sword protruding from my body and hitting it on everything. My obgyn is setting me under with a gastroenterologist we want to exhaust all other possibilities before removing my uterus and tubes hoping that will store the pain. I do have constipation recently started having mucous pass with my bowel movements when I’m able to pass them. Also, I started having pretty intense rectal pain during bowel movements even though they are seemingly soft. 

Has anyone else experienced this?

  • Hi there yes I'm almost sure it's something like this. I have never had pain so bad in my back like this before I do suffer from back pain but I literally am in tears it's worse than labour I just dont know what to do doctors are useless x

  • Hey did you have blood tests and urine samples too for this?I've been having problems with pain in these areas keep thinking it's my kidneys but I've had so many blood tests and I had a scan in September a bladder scan kidney scan etc I had a kidney scan on the 31st of December again but came back normal Ive had awful anxiety which is making me deffo think something wrong with my kidneys and stuff I've had a couple of utis but nurse says she doesn't even think it's utis now she thinks it's to do with my pelvis a pelvic infection/infection in my vagina area 

  • Hi

    i am similar I have lower left pain feels like it in pro ice and radiates round back ... wakes me at night... I'm tired all the time, have really heavy periods and constipation... I also suffer a lot with indigestion and acid. Was the pain you had like ache? 

  • Hi Lisa

    are you any further forward. I'm exact same and can only describe the pain like labour pain in my lower left back. Ct scan was clear!

  • Hi keltronia.

    Did you get any answers to your symptoms,  have you improved? I am same as you with lower left back pain and other symptoms and my ct scan was also clear so I am just wondering if you got any answers

    Hi. Has anyone had any answers.

     

    i have had pain in my lower left abdomen, sometimes also the lower right (and I don't have an ovary this side).

    Seen Gynae and Urologist already

    Had CT :  Clear

    Bloods : Clear

    Transvaginal and outer ultrasound normal : Clear

    Cystoscopy : Clear

    Have had blood in urine (microscopic) for over a year (said loads of people have unexplained blood in urine. 

    Had uterus oblation for painful period

     

    Nothing has helped. I have 2 children, busy job and studying and really struggling because this pain is so awful. Constantly nauseous, get bloated. Dull pain and pressure in recriminations when I got the the loo. Sometimes burning when I pass urine. Sometimes ovulation type mucus when I pass urine and also sometimes mucus in stool. Sometimes I have episodes where I have pressure and can't actually use the loo (no.2).

    This is having a major impact on my life

  • Gosh it's disheartening to see so many people with unanswered problems :(

    I've also been suffering from mild to severe back pain I think since having my second baby a year ago. ItAIt seems to get worse when my period is due. Also been getting twinges and stabbing pains in my abdomen despite having pain free periods for years of being on the pill. 

    Do also suffer from regular bouts of constipation and urgent diarrhea. 

    Am being booked in for ultrasound and prescribed cocodamol in the meantime for my back which I'm not overly keen to use. 

    Would be good to hear back from anyone else. 

  • Yes, this is how I'd describe it too! 

  • I'm so glad I've found this post .. 

    It's like your talking about me .

    I've had abnormal smears , I've had 4 LLETZ , 

    Xrays, scans, my second last smear came back with HPV virus in which I'm awaiting appointment, 

    The pain in still constant on my left side it is like a stinging pain I can't describe, the pain shoots somtimes down my left leg , i do get constipated due to taking solphodene that my Dr keeps giving me 

     

    Reading all these posts has realy opened my eyes in what is wrong with me,  

    Thank you ladies x

     

  • Hi Leah,

     

    I hope you're well.

     

    I'm just wondering if you have had any answers regarding your symptoms since your last post? 

     

    For the last week I'm getting excruciating pain around my pelvic bone and this darts all the way down my left leg. It's so painful to walk and especially lift my leg. Pain is also around side of hip and back but most painful down front of leg and on pelvic bone. 

     

    Just days before this started, I had unbelievable pains in my stomach and was on the floor on my knees for hours, screaming in pain. I'm now wondering if the two could be related! Went to the doctor today and he gave me antiinflammatories. I am really getting to the stage where I cannot walk properly. 

     

    Any advice or feedback would be much appreciated.
