I can feel my pelvis
Hi everyone! I’m looking for some advice or to commiserate if anyone else has felt this.
I am 3 months post-lap and finally got a diagnosis of Stage 1 endo after almost three years of chronic inflammation and pain that was attributed to weight and my diet (I have PCOS/PMOS). The past few months have been a semi-return to normalcy. I have been trying a slow return to exercise, but it has been slow because I have been so inactive before.
The past couple weeks, I have been feeling inflamed in a way I can now attribute to endo and have had the return of some lower back pain in my SI joints, where the pelvis meets the spine, and radiating pain to my hips. When it’s at its worst, it feels like I am walking around with two knifes in my hips. I have previously gotten steroid injections in this area, which worked for around 6 months, but I fear those have worn off. NSAIDs and muscle relaxers do not touch my pain I am also stressed because I am trying to finish my PhD by the end of the summer and looking for jobs, so that is definitely not helping.
I was wondering if anybody else has experienced this and if anyone has any advice. I really have appreciated this community while I have been hoping for a reason for my pain and coping with the diagnosis.
