Pain in Pelvis and lower back

by clh98, Oct 10, 2009 03:00AM
I am 29 years old and I have one child (who is 9). In July of 2009 I began to experience a sharp squeezing pain during orgasm (lower left pelvic area). After about a month I began dealing with dull, achy pain in my lower back. At first I thought that I might be pregnant; becasue I had other symptoms that reminded me of early pregnancy with my son. After starting my period only one day later than expected I quickly shrugged off the possibility of pregnancy. As well, i had taken Pregnancy tests at home before and after my normal period just to be sure and they all were negative. For 10 weeks the lower back pain got progressively worse. As did the pain in my lower left pelvic area. I began feeling "heavy" and always felt like my reproductive organs were under pressure.. Two weeks ago i finally broke down and went to the Doctor. ( I have never been one to go unless I thought something was REALLY wrong) I went becasue my lower back was spasaming  and I wanted an MRI. INSTEAD My doc gave me a pelvic exam, and ordered CA 125 testing. She told me that she would refer me for an ultra sound - and I would be expecting a call to have that scheduled. She did not find any mass during the exam, and i am still waiting for the ultra sound to be scheduled. (3 days waiting now). NEW AS OF YESTERDAY: when I put pressure on my pelvic area I have a burning sensation that radiates into my back, and I have been having shooting pains down my left thigh. This morning (10/9) I woke up in the early hours to incredible low back pain. My bladder was full, and figured it was pressing on nerves already irritated, but when I went to "sit" my back spasamed again, and the warm burning sensation in my pelvis turned into a fiery nauseating pain that had me doubled over for about a few minutes. I managed to get to my muscle relaxers, and ibuprofen...relaxed for an hour, and then was able to go about my day in "normal pain".. The odd thing is that my "normal pain" has dissipated through out the day.. I suddenly feel no pressure..no back pain.. nothing.. and the pills I took this morning are the only ones I have taken all day.. My Doctors office is closed on the weekends, so i am curious if anyone of you have experienced this, or knows anything about what I might be experiencing.. I am thinking cyst? ruptured cyst? Ovarian cancer - hard to judge..

If you find out... let me know... I have the same symptoms as of a couple weeks ago. I also have the symptom of being bloated and have rib pain. I was considering that it could be an intestinal blockage and the low abdominal and back pain is due to a nerve. It will be interesting to see what you are diagnosed with.

Good luck !

Hello!
I have an Ultrasound scheduled early Friday. It has been a frustrating wait. My lab results from the CA 125 tests came back "normal" according to my doctor, but I have not been told what levels they were. At this point i am thinking that I had a cyst and it ruptured. BUT that is my own conclusion and the feed back I am getting from others on this site; Although I am still having pain during orgasm. I fear that they will do the US and find nothing because so much time has passed.. I will post the results as soon as I get them though.. I am wishing I would have gone into urgent care a couple weeks ago and got the US in the midst of all my pain.. I'll keep you posted!

i have an ovarian cyst at 16 yrs old i was diagnosed with 5 ovarian cysts i got sent in to emerge after 4 months of continuous bleeding and doctors telling me im fine and theirs nothing to worry about now im 20 yrs old and still have one of my cysts measuring 5cm and in the bigining it n was 7 cm and after my surgery i was told i couldn't have children but i am now a mother of a 21 month old daughter so in all just keep an eye on your cysts and if you need to get a second opinion. Dont let it go on i was told if i didn't come into emerge i could have been dead within a week from the poison in my cysts. im now waiting on an appointment to make a date to get my last cyst out
