Tonight, I am sitting here on my living room floor in pain. My lower back seems to ache a lot and my hip is the worst tonight. It feels like someone is trying to twist my hip joint and pain will shoot down to my knee. I have been blaming the back pain on the endometriosis even though I don't know for sure that is the cause. Since I am getting some new visitors (Hi ICLW'ers), I thought now would be a good time to pose a question to anyone else who might have endometriosis. Is it normal to have lower back pain all throughout the month, not just before/during your period?
I do have an appointment with my PCP this Friday and I am going to ask him about the hip pain for sure. I don't want to sound like a big cry baby who whines all the time and wants prescriptions for this and that. I just want to feel normal and go maybe a couple of days without pain. I probably need to contact the GYN also. I passed the pregnancy "deadline" he gave me. I need to see him anyway.
Hey, I hope your doc can give you some relief from the pain because, barring an underlying medical cause, it is NOT normal to have lower back pain all the time.
ReplyDeleteI love your 25 random facts list.

Ouch, sorry about your lower-back pain. I don't know much about the side-effects of endo... but if it isn't that, maybe it's your sciatic? I know mine's a a dull roar a lot of the time...
