Cervical cancer back pain

Hi

I have been experiencing some of the symptoms of CC and wanted to find out if and when you felt back pain. I bleed in between periods and after intercourse. Sometimes for up to a week and a half. I had always put it down to being on the pill. (Irregular periods) every time I try to book into having a smear test I end up bleeding a day or two before so have to cancel. It takes 2 weeks to be seen by a drs at my surgery.

I have been having back pain in the evenings but just put that down to being overworked. Last Monday I began getting a pain in my lower back which has been constant. I have tried all sorts hot water bottle, ice packs, voltarol cream, ibuprofen and co codamol. Nothing has helped and it’s pretty painful with apressure like pain. I will be going into see my drs today. 

What did your back pain feel like? I have searched the web and have found no description of a certain type of back pain for CC. I’m worried it could be something serious as nothing has helped with easing the pain. My Nan also died of Cervical cancer 42 years ago. Does this put me at a greater risk?

  • Hi, I'm sorry your going through this. And im sorry to jump on your post and ask for advice but does anyone have any idea?

    In 2015 I had an internal scan which showed ovarian cysts and a polyp on my cervix (wasn't removed) then

    Just over a year ago I had my 1st smear, came back with abnormal cells and HPV, they wanted to see me 6 months later and stupidly! I never went back, (I ignore things like an idiot) anyway I had my daughter in Aug and have bled continuously since, everything is fine in terms of how it should be after giving birth but I've started with really bad lower back pain, and pelvis pain along with this abnormal bleeding, I've been prescribed Provera to stop the bleeding and tomorrow I have an appointment for a pelvic exam but as you can gather I'm really panicking because I ignore things id rather not know. Don't know if that's what it is or maybe my cysts playing up. I'd never forgive myself for not going back if the worst case scenario happens. 

    Hope all goes well for you !
