Bulged disc, bloated-tender-painful pelvic area, pain middle right thigh, rare but some chest fullness.?

Question

Has anyone ever had a LOT of pain in the pelvic area due to a bulged disc? I have been to many doctors, but am still having problems. I had doctored for several years and several doctors, finding out I did have this bulged disc and possibly IBS, after having a lot of tests. Finally after several years of not getting a pat answer it was discovered I had endometriosis. I have since had a complete hysterectomy, which I felt great for about 6 months.
I am now once again faced with a great deal of pain, and getting worse as time goes on. I do very little anymore to strain my back, I have been treated with IBS medicine which only made my pelvic/abdomin area more painful, been to 3 doctors again, with still no answers Is it my back? Has the bulge suddenly started pinching a nerve? That doc is next, but can a back cause this much pain in my pelvic/ab area? Is it my bowels? Can't really be female issues as there is nothing left..WHAT COULD IT BE..

Answer 1

Are you only seeing medical doctors? It may be time for a quality Chiropractic evaluation. Additionally, a good Naturopathic Physician can assist you in identifying and properly treating the underlying causes of your many chronic conditions - rather than just treating the symptoms or labels.

For example, IBS is NOT a diagnosis, it is a label given to patients when the doctor cannot find a 'known cause' of bowel symptoms. Many patients in the U.S. that are 'diagnosed' (labeled!) as IBS actually have UNDIAGNOSED Gluten sensitivity (Celiac Disease). This is just one of many underlying conditions that may account for many of your symptoms. Other common possibilities include Intestinal Dysbiosis, Intestinal Hyperpermeability (leaky gut syndrome), Food or Environmental Allergies, Spinal/pelvic subluxations, Myofascial Pelvic Pain Syndromes, and a whole lot more.

Find a good Chiropractor and Naturopathic Physician - these doctors can often do wonderful things for problems like yours. Best wishes and good luck.

Answer 3

the kidneys and lower intestines are near your back, does an an x-ray show swollen or damaged areas? If it is an abscess near or on your spine you will not want someone to possibly cause more damage by adjusting you without finding what the problem actually is. I have a test you can take online and find out what body system is more likely to be the culprit. Then once we have a direction, there are lots of all natural mineral supplements that will give your body what it needs to heal itself. People on these supplements have been cured from everything from diabetes and cancer to the common cold. This may even have to do with an allergy (which I know an easy fix for.) Let me know if you'd like more info, I'd really like to help!

Pain in the pelvic area (the "private areas), when associated with nerve root compression, involves compression of the S-2 or S-3 nerve root. The spinal cords stops a couple segments above our last intervertebral disc and the sacral nerve roots only travel in the canal below this level and exits a few segments below the last disc. Therefore, it would be just about impossible for a bulging disc to cause this pain. If the disc were EXTRUDED, however and managed to migrate into the central canal (as in cauda equina syndrome), then this could cause pelvic pain. You would, however have other symptoms such as tingling, loss of sensation, or loss of bladder control.

Pelvic pain can also be caused by muscular imbalances, pelvic assymmetries, and ligamentous issues. If your pelvic pain is found to not be related to an abdominal/gastrointestinal areas (as in celiac disease, etc.) , I suggest you follow up with a physician and physical therapist who specialize in pelvic pain. See the website below for the international pelvic pain society.

If however, you refer to the "pelvic area" as in and around the gluteal areas (at the level of the pelvis), yes this could be caused by a bulging disc.
