What Causes Bilateral Hip Pain And Back Ache While Having Herniated Disc?

I have bilateral hip pain. For over 9 months I have been experiencing hip pain, tailbone pain and every morning when I have a bowel movement it starts and is relentless the entire day. My lower back aches sometimes the pain radiates into my feet. I recently had an mri and was told that there is an herniated disc but not that bad? I also have a fibroid tumor and cyst in my uterus. I am 47 years old and absolutely miserable.

Hello !
Thank you for the question on HCM! I understand your concern.
The pain which aggravates by the bowel movements is not related to the bulging disk, but it may be a spastic colon( a disorder caused by irritation and contraction of the great intestine).
The fibromyoma can cause similar pain, but it is more related to uterine hemorrhage. You should consult with your gynecologist for this issue.
The back ache radiating to the feet is related to the bulging disk and chronic degenerative changes in the bones.
I would recommend a lumbar bracelet for the pain and avoid standing position and sitting position for a long time. Physiotherapy would be very helpful to you , reinforcing the muscles of the lumbar region.
I would also recommend Amytriptiline or Gabapentine which are very effective in chronic pain. These drugs should be used for some months.
Hope to have been helpful !
Best Wishes, Dr. Abaz Quka
