Guest guest Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 A little background first..........Ok, I joined this group probably over a year ago, tried to learn as much as I could but doctors told me " wait and see " was their course of action. So, that is what I have been doing. I have uterine fibroids and cysts on my ovaries. They found these accidentally and told me they were very small, not to worry, they are common. I had gone for an MRI to find out why my coccyx (tail bone) hurts when I sit. Never have gotten an answer on why my tail bone hurts. I've been to the chiropractor, had physical therapy, even bought a tens machine, nothing helped. I have had two pelvic ultrasounds, they also did vaginally at the same times. These were done a little over 6 months apart. Everyone talks about pain on here. Maybe I'm crazy but it seems my pain started after my ultrasounds, and I'm speaking of the vaginal ultrasound. I had a little bleeding afterwards but I just assumed that was normal. I am on Yasmine BCPs and my GP told me if I didn't want a period because of my heavy bleeding to take the pills continuously, not to take the sugar pills. It is glorious not to have a period, but I worry that this is not the best for me. I've had heavy bleeding ever since I gave birth to my children, 19 and 20 years ago. Ok, the pain....I have pain in the area as if I am ovulating, which is silly because I can't be. Last week, the pain was sooo bad I took a Oxycodone which I had left over from gall bladder removal I had last year. The pain was so bad all I could do was cry and lay around. Could this pain be coming from the ovarian cysts OR the fibroids? I do have back pain, but am in need of weight loss also so I'm sure that does not help the situation. I wonder if these fibroids, no matter how small or the cysts could be causing my back pain AND the tail bone pain AND the frontal pelvic area pain. I have regular check ups (at least every 6 months) and blood work done before I see my GP. OHHH, one thing I almost forgot. This may not even be related but just thought I would throw this in. My regular gyno check up last September showed I had blood in my urine. Did a follow up, same thing. So I saw a urologist, he told me that blood in urine for some ppl is normal. He performed a cystoscopy and dilated my urethra. Said my bladder looked fine. Follow up, I told him I didn't think the dilation helped any, he blew me off. Follow up still had blood in urine. This concerns me terrible because my mother died from bladder cancer. It is not supposed to be heriditary...........but, it still scares me. I have another cystoscopy scheduled for June. Question, any opinions on whether blood in my urine could be related to the heavy bleeding, fibroids and cysts. I have been anemic for quite some time and am working toward getting that under control. I do stay tired, at first I just called myself lazy. I grew up on a farm and have never been a lazy person. It is sooooo aggravating. Am just wondering if anyone has an opinion from your life experiences or other wise. I don't want to waste anyone's time but I did do a search on here and couldn't find anything specific to my situation. Thank you for any help.
