I'm in so much pain. I've been feeling pain like this since around 15th September. I've had various trips to the GP and an OOO visit too.
All they do is give me painkillers. The pain killers don't touch the pain.
I can't sit without pain. The pain is in my lower back but I no longer think it's my back that hurts. There's a band of pain around my abdomen, above where my legs bend at the hip and below my belly button.
I've used (properly not at the same time, this is just a list of what I've tried) Co-codamol, paracetamol, ibuprofen, diclofenic, deep heat, TENS machine, massage, hot water bottles, hot baths, sauna, spa bath. I've seen an osteopath, the best things have been the spa bath, sauna and bath.
I'm trying to stay mobile. On Tuesday I was able to run for a bus. Today I cannot move without pain.
The pain wakes me up in the night. At its worst I've had to ask DH to help me to turn over in bed.
I've had blood tests done. All normal. Liver function a teeny tiny bit odd so GP wants to repeat.
They are considering giving me HRT to help with the pain.
I'm getting a prescription of diazepam to see if that will help and an X-ray and ultrasound will be arranged.
What the fuck could it be? I've got a high pain tolerance. I once completed an assault course with fractured ribs (including swinging over the monkey bars)
I have good days and bad days. Today is a very bad day. I can barely move my head and I'm terrified to sneeze or cough.
GP says I'm a mystery. I just wish I knew what was causing the pain so that we could respond to that.
I'm peeing and pooping normally. I think it might be connected to my hormones but that's just a guess. I might have endo but I'm on my second mirena coil which was life changing for me.
I just wish I knew what it could be.
