Pelvic MRI showing uterus 5 yr after hysterectomy

I had my uterus removed 5 years ago but kept my ovaries.  Recently, I had an MRI of my back and pelvic areas for back pain.  A part of the MRI results say, "The uterus appears to be retroverted.  A few small cysts are noted.....smaller cyst with increased T1 signal.  The mass measures up to about 1.4 cm."  It has been confirmed that the correct films were read and I am wondering if I need to see another dr about any of these results.  An ortho referred me for the MRI.  
Thanks for your input.

Hi There,
Yes, it could cause some pain. Or it could be unrelated. Low back pain is very common and is usually related to arthritis, strain, old injuries, and so forth. The fact that you had fibroids before increases the possibility that you may have a fibroid of one of your ligaments in the pelvic area.

I had my hysterectomy because of pain and excessive bleeding associated with fibroid tumors.  If there is a fibroid growing on a ligament, could it cause pain?  Specifically in the sacral joint area?
Thanks

Hi There,
It is possible that you had a solid fibroma on one of your ovaries that looks like uterine tissue. It is also possible that you have a fibroid that has grown back on one of your pelvic ligaments. That can look like  a fibroid. Why did you have your uterus removed?

I would suggest repeating the scan in three months to see if it is growing
best wishes
