Pelvic/Back pain

by Elusiive, Oct 29, 2007 12:46PM
I have had pelvic pain and lower back pain for the past 6 months.  It started out with a cyst and I have been on continuous birth control for the past 6 months.  The cyst is now gone, but I have pain all the time in my pelvis, lower back, and sometimes my thighs.  I've been tested for UTI's and everything else.  I also urinate up to 20 times a day..sometimes more.  It doesn't burn when I urinate and it's sometimes small amounts.  I sometimes also have to wait a while before the pee comes out.  I get up at least 3 times a night to pee.  
I've had laprascopy to look for endo but they couldn't find anything.  A couple of weeks ago I ran out of birth control and the pain got so bad to where I couldn't get out of bed.  I am now back on birth control and the pain is starting to lessen but it's still there.. all the time.  It's ruining my life.  My quality of life sucks.  

Any idea what this could be?

See previous post. If the workup is completely negative for pregnancy, STD, cystitis, pelvic masses, then get an evaluation from a qualified pelvic floor physical therapist. You may have pelvic muscle trigger points, which are causing your symptoms.

I've also had an MRI on my back to rule out any lower back problems.
