Lower back pain during cycle (young)

[HaileyB94]

Hi, I'm a 19 yo who has had CHRONIC lower back pain ever since my period has first started.. and its gradually getting worse. I fell on steel steps when i was younger, and landed right in the middle of my back. I never had it looked at, but it was pretty bad. Ever since, I've had horrible back pain about two days before my cycle, and the first two or three days OF my cycle. During those first few days, i also bleed pretty heavy. I'd also like to add that i get A LOT of blood clots. I mean, everytime i go pee during my cycle, blood clots are falling out (sorry tmi). Absolutely nothing makes it better. I've tried yoga, a chiropractor, heating pad, prescription medication.. none of it works. So I'm forced to rush to the ER, where they hook me up with Morphine. I usually try to stick it out because i don't want to depend on medications like that, but its just unbarable at times. Does this happen to anyone else? I've been tested once for cysts and/or endometriosis, but they found nothing. I'm considering just going to see a specialist. If you have any suggestions or answers, please feel free to add them, thanks!

This one is one of the best. It isn't in Michigan but if insurance would cover going to him I would highly highly advise this.

Thanks for posting on the Endometriosis Forum and welcome :)

You sound like its very likely that you have Endo, but endo can only be 100% diagnosed through laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery. It is a normal surgery had by many to diagnose. You are going into the right direction and going to an Endo specialists is your best bet.

Where do you live so I can let you know of some amazing Endo surgeons in your area?

You can also read my journals and blog on my profile as well :)

I'm not sure how to edit my question, but i'd like to add that this keeps me in bed, crying, for days. It gets to the point where i have to call off of work, and I've missed plenty of school from it. I also have diarrhea my entire cycle. :(
