Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In Pelvis,lower Back And Legs

I have been having pelvic pain, low back pain and pain in both legs for five years. It goes on 24/7. Every single day. Have seen numerous specialists. Had a total hysterectomy in mid twenties. I am now 53. Have several bulging discs in back and one in neck. However, the doctors do not believe they are bad enough to cause this extreme pain. The pain has increased over the years. It is always like cramps from a period and increases to the extreme of labor pain. I have IC, IBS, chronic bladder infections. During my hysterectomy the surgeon nicked my bladder in several places and I came home with a catheter for two weeks. At times the pain is worse than others. The really bad times last for 2-3 weeks and then I get some relief but pain never stops. I have become disabled by this after working for 33 years. If I stand on my feet for more than 10-15 minutes the pain intensifies greatly. Last year I battled Non-Hodgkins MALT lymphoma of the stomach. Two physicians stated they believed the cancer caused the pain. However, I have been in remission for 7 months and the pain is getting much worse. I have no life because of this pain. I also have Sjögren s Syndrome and osteoarthritis. I have asked several physicians about scar tissue / adhesions being the problem as besides the hysterectomy which was done by incision, I had a C-Section in 1985, and a huge ovarian cyst removed by incision during the very early 90 s and soon after the hysterectomy. But that idea was dismissed as they stated if it was adhesions it would have begun immediately after the surgeries. And they say IC and IBS does not cause severe leg pain. I have been tested for PAD and everything great there. Please help as I am at my breaking point. Right now I have another UTI, the 6th since October 2013. The UTI s make the pain much worse. Thank u for your help.

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

For all you mentioned it is sad to hear that you been in pain though you have met the specialists and none could help you further

As per my clinical knowledge i feel you should undergo physical therapy as by doing exercises and strengthening the muscular system Along with skeletal your 90% of the problems can be solved.

also, to mention here I had a case of 55/F who has alot of pathologies like DM, HTN, Degenerative disc disease, OA Knees, Shoudler pathology, etc. She has responded well to physical therapy and much better to health now with travelling alot.

If you have anything to ask in particular I will be surely happy to help you.

Sometimes many problems can be solved with practical approach.
