Someone Please Help Me On This ~ (bit embarrassing)

Was going to name change, but we're all adults here...

Today, while out and about, I started to get THE WORST pain in my bottom - exactly like the pains I had in (advanced) labour. I had an epidural in labour, but these pains didn't get numbed and they made me so ill they were so sore, but luckily they gave me 2 injections which numbed it all. Anyway, I started to get them today... I was shaking with the pain and could barely stand. It eased after abit. Wasn't needing a poop or anything and im pretty sure I don't have piles (have googled them ). I wouldnt be fussed really, but the pain was as bad as labour.

Thanks for reading and not giggling out loud too much

Sorry Quootie - no idea, but I'd give your doctor a call to put your mind at reast if I were you.

They (whoever they are?!?!?) do say that kidney stones are extremely painful. Could it be something along those lines?

emmatomtwinklinglights · 22/12/2006 15:29

Um... .....that would be a no I think, but I was thinking radiating pain from kidneys which are not too far away.

lulumama · 22/12/2006 15:30

trapped wind

IBS

STRESS - can excacerbate IBS and bowel issues...

you;ve had a baby, having a doc look at your bum is no big deal ( i;ve got crohns disease, have had many docs looking at my bowel............)

you need to be checkd out if the pain is so severe...ok?

fiiiivemadmarchhaaaares · 22/12/2006 15:34

I suffer with trapped wind a lot and get quite severe pains around that area. Sometimes it really floors me and I cant move without getting really sharp shooting pains.

fiiiivemadmarchhaaaares · 22/12/2006 15:37

To add, it is the most painful experience by far, other than labour, that I have ever had.

DumbledoresFairy · 22/12/2006 15:41

I have had agonising pains like this, on and off, since I don't know when. They paralyse me they are so acute. I can remember aged 11 standing in the classroom as the teacher talked and praying that he didn't tell us to sit down just yet as I was in such agony I wouldn't be able to move. The pain lasts a minte or so and then just goes. Is that like your pain?

It seems to me, I am more likely to get the pain first thing in the mornng when I am lying in bed and have a full bladder and bowels. I am sure it is just a muscular spasm, but the pain really is agonising.

Its definatly in the coccyx... like something was bearing down on it really hard. Ive had bad trapped wind before, agony, but higher up and more to the front, around my tummy.

Ah no, my pain feels like someone is stabbing me right in the bowel. If it is the coccyx, maybe something was damaged when you last gave birth. How long ago was that?

8 months, nearly 9. Its happened twice now... quite randomly.

Quootiepie · 22/12/2006 15:55

but most definatly coccyx - really wouldnt say its trapped wind, or anything like that

DumbledoresFairy · 22/12/2006 15:56

Well, I am no expert, but I last gave birth nearly 4 years ago and in the last year, my SPD has come back with a vengeance, so I imagine it is perfectly possible for something to flare up 8 or 9 months after birth. Poor you.

DumbledoresFairy · 22/12/2006 15:57

lol re sitting on backside in front of MN comment!

fiiiivemadmarchhaaaares · 22/12/2006 15:58

I do get mine at the back and GP has said twice that this is what it is.

I know you dont want to go on to your GP about it, but just slip it in at your next apt. DF could be right.

QP, i once went to the GP because I had a vague but nagging ache in my breast. I was worried about cancer. She examined both breasts, declared them fine and suggested it might be a mild muscle strain. After she said that, the pain went away (as if the reassurance was all I needed) but it did occur to me I had been sitting at the computer Mumsnetting rather a lot prior to the pain starting. Since then, if I had a particularly busy time on Mumsnet, I have sometimes noticed a slight return of the ache - oops!
