Question: I'm a 58 year old female. I have been having bad left side flank pain for years. I am also having sciatic pain in my butt and down leg. Also, discomfort in my left groin area. I have quivering at times mostly in back. At times the left side of my face is kinda numb.Everything is on left side of my body. I also have a nerve electrifying sound in my head. I know what hearing loss sounds like and this is different. It could be from a medication, I guess but it's more like nerves. I lost my husband 6 years ago to prostate cancer. After his death, I fell and broke my left leg straight across in 2 places. I went through breast cancer treatments (left side) right before he was diagnosed. I had surgery, chemo, radiation, 5 years tomoxifen and 2 years arimidex. I have hypothyroidism/hasimotos disease. I also have prephial neropathy. I have had MRI for side pain and found multiple tarlov cysts in S level, a narrowing and 2 bulging disk. I also had CT scan (mild hip degenerative), blood work and urine. The doctors said were ok. I also had colonoscopy. I had an epidural L4 and it didn't help side pain at all. I have seen a Chiropractor and he fixed my back but it didnt help flank pain.I have been going to a massage therapist and she said pain is coming from QL muscle.I'm currently seeing her 1x a week. I've seen Neurologist and just gave me pain meds. I've tried percocet, oxycoton and didn't help the pain. Norcos and ice work to take edge off. I'm exhausted all the time and becomin confused a lot. A few doctors have said radiation damage and some say they don't see any on test. My oncologist said my blood counts are showing signs of Leukemia but he wants to wait until my numbers are higher for the bone marrow biopsy and he's confused about the pain too. My last visit with him 3 months ago my blood work was worse but he thinks it could be from the epidural.I see him every 3 months.I am on Synthroid, Neurontin, Cymbalta and Norco. I also take B12 injections 1x a month.I believe this pain began after I broke my leg and continued to get worse over the years. I live alone and have responsibilities which I can't do. Could you give me any suggestion on what I should do? My past surgeries were breast cancer, 2 c-sections, broken leg, and gallbladder removed.

I see my Oncologist every 3 months. He said the breast cancer has not metastized. I will try to send blood test reports. The leukemia was from the result of a fish test. The doctors checked my organs and everything checked out ok. What about the left flank pain? I will get my blood report and send it.

The CT just said MILD hip degenerative. I've had xrays and they didn't show anything that would cause the flank pain. I was checked for renal stones and there is not any. My doctors don't know why it hurts so bad. I don't want pain meds I want to know what is causing it. I take calcium and D3. However, I can't eat much dairy because I'm lactose intolerant.

Also, the doctors checked for pid. Could it be fybromqlgia?

What about pinched nerves seeing how the ql muscle is so tight? What did you see from my latest blood results?

Hello, my time isn't up yet, correct?

I think I found it and made an appointment with Ortho doc... Do you think since I have had it so long that it could cause damage to other parts of my body? http://thewellnessdigest.com/quadratus-lumborum-muscle-low-back-hip-buttock-groin-pelvic-abdomen-pain/ Thanks...
