I have been suffering from chronic pain in my lower back (Sacrum area) and pelvic (entire pelvic from left side to right) for about 2 years. I have had several doctors check with zero source results. Since I have normal lab results little has been done.
One doctor seemed to question me as if I was an addict seeking prescription drugs. He did nothing more other than provide hormones pills which did not help.
Another doctor did exploratory surgery and found that my uterus was abnormal thus performed a hysterectomy (removed uterus, cervix and left both ovaries). It was a overnight change because the pain has decreased. Before the surgery I would have to lay my head on the desk, stretch, add pressure to my pelvic area, change my breath, etc to refocus and get back to work. Now, the pain still exists. It is at a lower pain level. It has been 5 months since this surgery.

I went into my primary care doctor who has been wonderful over the years for my family. However, he seems to have stopped trying to help figure things out with a comment of "we can do so much then have to leave it up to to the Lord". I agree with the statement but feel that chronic pain isn't normal and I should not have to live with each and every day.

My symptoms are below.
1. continuous Sacrum pain that ranges from a pain level of 3-6 on a 10 scale. There are intermittent peaks that leads me to take tylenol & ibuprofen combination. It only tappers it.
2. continuous pelvic pains. These are difficult to describe. It ranges from feeling like a pains of an extremely full bladder without a need to urinate to heavy menstrual type cramps .
3. After going to the bathroom (either BM or urinate), the pain level increases about 2 minutes later
4. When getting up in the middle of the night to check on kids, by the type I get back to my room, it hurts to move. I sleep with a heating pad (automatic shut off). The heat helps me to relax enough to go back to sleep.

Symptoms I DO NOT have are below.
1. Do not have leakage when sneezing, laughing, etc
2. Out of commission because I remain active (mother of 3 is busy, work full time, and active home remodel projects)

I am uncertain of what to do next to try to figure out this pain. It never stops completely.

Has anyone experienced similar issues? Any ideas?
