Anyone else have debilitating back pain/sciatica ? I am starting to think it's tied to my Endo. I have been birth control free for almost 3 years due to having a baby and afterwards I had no interest in getting another IUD. Also, I really wanted to see how my body did without anything on board. It was all fun and games until I got my first postpartum period. Now my second period is here and my leg is killing me.
I have had back surgery on my L5 before (13 years ago) and it does act up occasionally, but not much. And I have had off and on trouble with it for about 8 months now, but suddenly about a week before my period it became constant and really miserable. The chiropractor helped a bit but it seems to be consistent with my cramping and other period symptoms. When I take Tylenol it takes a bit to kick in, but helps significantly. I've had some tingling as well, and pain in my calf muscle which is something I have never experienced with the sciatica before.
Curious if anyone has had a similar situation. I'm really hoping I don't need surgery again.
