Dear Dr.
I am a 40 year old female that has been experiencing bladder pressure for 5-6 months now, accompanied with extreme low back pain, especially during standing or sitting ,sharp pains in the hips, mostly in the left hip and sharp pains in the left pelvic area. I have also had pains down the front left leg and back right leg. I have treated for a UTI with two antibiotics and still have the bladder pressure. The pressure/pain happens before urination but mostly right after uriation.  I have had a MRI which showed a small paramedian disc protrusion at L2/3, a right asymmetric disc bulge at L3/4, a paramedian disc herniation at L4/5 abutting the right L5 root and bilateral pars defects at L5 with a mild annular bulge.  I had a pelvic and renal sonogram and a bladder ultrasound done. The sonogram revealed ovarian cyst.  In the early stages blood was found in my urine but seems to have cleared up now.  I have had low back pain for many years, although it seems to be getting worse.  The pain in my hips and pelvic area are all new which seems to have started about the same time as the bladder pressure.  I was wondering if the back pain and the, what feels like a pinched nerve, and the bladder pressure are related in any way.
Thank You.

Signed,

Hi,

Thanks for writing in.
The pressure symptoms in your bladder are most likely due to ovarian cyst. Ovarian cyst can put pressure on the bladder and cause these symptoms.
Is it a small cyst or a big one?
At this moment your back symptoms are very likely due to nerve compression due to disc bulge and herniation.
A large ovarian cyst can cause pain and pressure in the hip and pelvic region also.
Please discuss this with your treating doctor and keep us posted!

Any one with the symptoms of CPPS should consult your urologist, It does get worse if not treated fairly early,I know from experience, years of seeing Doctors for chronic pain, fatigue, Depression,social withdraw, E.D. loss of libedo,loss of intimacy, loss of  wife,and never the correct diognosis until I had lost everything dear to me, I don't mean to sound like Debbie Downer, This syndrome is very difficult to diagnose, i don't want anyone to go threw what I have, There is tratment, I decided to stay away from their drug threapy and opted for he Stanford Protocol for Prostatitis and Chronic Pelvic Pain, It helped alot but I will always still have the effects of it, Body & Soul
