Help please.
Over the last 2 years I've started to develop sporadic, increasingly severe pain in my lower back.
The pain is around the top of my buttocks / lower back / hip area. It's far worse first thing in the morning.
If happens every few months and when it comes, it's so bad that for the duration (5-7 days) I won't sleep well & will struggle to function normally without painkillers.
I have a mirena coil so don't have standard periods but I have noticed that the day the pain goes, I have a little bit of brownish blood.
I'm active (although overweight) and when it goes, it's like it never happened.
I've gone for a pelvic ultrasound - nothing. Which in some ways is great (I guess no masses / fibroids / cysts to worry about), but in some ways I just don't know what to do next.
Does anyone have any experience to share that might help?
I'm 42
