On and off pain in lower left side, seems to get worse after bowel movement. Pain radiates down left thigh and left buttox. Have had a full hystorectomy ten years ago. No cancer, fibrod on uterus and endometriosis on ovaries. No blood or black stools present. Had a colonoscopy 3 years ago nothing was found. Also had a virtual colonoscopy 3 years ago which was inconclusive. This has been going on for about 6 months. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
S

Hi S~
I am not sure if this is the problem, but I hope you find this helpful. I too suffer from stageivplus inoperable endo for many years. I just had surgery this year after my last one 9 years ago. I even had a hysterectomy in 2002 and there was still colon type of issues that plagued me constantly for 19months until this last surgery.
It turned out that the colon was bound down in three different hidden areas by adhesion's. The cervix was removed as well as that was grossly adhered. All test kept showing "within normal limits" even a diagnostic lap which showed "pristine". This surgery was performed via laparotomy and sure enough things were grossly adhered.
There were some areas they couldn't touch due to high risk and past endo problems but I can say my colon is soooooo much better because of this surgery. I hope this helps you in your search.

Sheesh, it sounds such as you are not having any amusing. Hemorrhoids are typical in being pregnant, however at nine weeks alongside I might be skeptical that you would have them considering the fact that of the growing strain of your uterus, that is probably the most typical rationale. That usually does not occur till later in being pregnant. Another typical rationale is constipation, that is anything else that is very universal for the duration of being pregnant, even within the early weeks. If you might have been straining in any respect, you would have worsened them. I had a fairly unhealthy constipation situation at thirteen weeks and acquired hemorrhoids out of nowhere - and I've had them ever considering the fact that. Occasionally they flare up and bleed, however typically they are simply there. Given your household historical past, I'd certainly ask to get the situation looked at earlier than it will get any farther. Until you'll get in for that, maintain the discipline VERY blank - the final factor you desire is an illness or an abscess. My medical professional mentioned Preparation H was once great, as are medicated pads like Tucks - you'll go away the ones on for quarter-hour at a time in case you desire and they're going to aid soothe the burning. Your OB too can prescribe risk-free suppositories for the suffering. Good good fortune and congrats in your being pregnant, wish you consider greater quickly.

It could be the sciatic nerve being pinched and the bowel movements are irritating it.
It's a major nerve that travels from the spine where the back of the hip bone connects and goes to the foot.
I had this similar problem. I had actually sprained the joint area of the spine and had to wear a 'hip compressor' plus physical therapy for 6 weeks.
Another possibility is a 'spastic colon' and there are medication for that.

First of all go to the doctor. But if today you want to research some go to www.webmd.com and use the sympton checker. It could be a hernia~nerve having pressure on it~etc.....We cannot seeyou (and personaly I am not a doctor) and it can be dangerous to self diagnose. So check out the webmd and make an appt tomorrow. Six months is too long to wait.

Sounds like blockage/constipation. As the nerve stimuli (pain down the leg would indicate that blood flow may be restricted)
I'm going to go look at the books on this. Back in a mo

when was the last time skip L went to the doctor, you just get put on a waiting list to see a consultant, maybe next january or february before you get an appointment, and thats only a consultation, then you've more appiontments for tests/ xrays scans eta eta, usually having to travel miles because they have shut all the local hospitals, time off work - - - - -
unless you can afford to go private, you could die on a waiting list on the NHS

It may not be your colon. You probably have two different things going on or referred pain coming from somewhere else. Try documenting when you have the pain and go to your physician, maybe he can refer you to the proper specialist.

Do you have a university hospital nearby? This needs to be examined asap and given all the info you gave here. If you have to go to a bigger city to find another Doctor who specializes in this, please do so.
