What Causes Severe Lower Back Pain?

Question: I have had a deep pulsating throbbing in my lower left quadrant intermittently for over 3 months. Some good days and some days very bothersome. I had a CT scan ordered by GI - saw nothing. Had an internal/external US. Saw a 7mm myometrial cyst. PCP ordered MRI with contrast to confirm. MRI showed nothing. Throbbing is not as severe but now has moved to pretty severe lower back pain. I am so frustrated. Any ideas?
Brief Answer:
dont be annoyed
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,
Do not worry.
A small myometrial cyst should not concern you.
The low back pain needs to be assessed by a orthopedic surgeon .
Some time s dilated blood vessels in the back can lead to throbbing and pain.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Is that something easily seen on MRI or have been missed since they were looking at the uterus primarily?
Brief Answer:
should have been seen
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
it would have been noticed, was the MRI localized to the pelvic region , or was it abdomen pelvis?
The other possibility is functional pain, but before that an opinion with a orthopedic is must to rule out any lower back issue.
