I've had general pelvic/hip pain for a while but this all ramped up massively a couple of weeks ago when my lower back pain got increasingly worse and then the numbness appeared. Was sent to A&E in case of cauda equina. They didn't scan me but said it wasn't that. Apparently I have some sensation loss and slight weakness in left leg when compared to right. Also confirmed urinary retention. Have been referred to spinal team. However, I've only got a telephone appointment in a months time. I can't function properly at all atm, can't even sit properly, and in lots of pain. To make matters worse, I used a canesten pessary for thrush and had a bad reaction to it, despite using them before and being fine. So now my vag is sore and seems to be bleeding slightly. While I was putting sudacrem on the sore bits I noticed a bulge inside, which appears to be a bladder prolapse. This definitely was not there prior to all this shit with my back starting and I don't even think it was there before I used the pessary last week.
Feel like I'm absolutely falling to pieces and I don't know what to do anymore. I've had an ultrasound last month that showed my right ovary in my pouch of Douglas but otherwise it was apparently normal. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be going on? Also, does anyone know if there's any decent pain relief that won't impact my stomach? I have ibs/reflux and hiatus hernia so I tend to avoid nsaids. Particularly need to avoid anything that constipates.
Missed out on a gp appointment today. Trying tomorrow.
