Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am experiencing pain in the left pelvic area also directly across in the back. Pain radiates midway up the left back . Area on that side just above the hip bone is swollen and very painful if I sit too long. Sometimes unable to sleep on the left side, feels like I am lying on an uncomfortable lump. History of fibroids and retroverted uterus.
Since the pain is radiating in nature, i suspect it to be a pinched nerve in the lumbar spine. An MRI will provide good insights for the soft tissues.
Undergoing simple physical therapy like - therapeutic ultrasound therapy, TENS therapy and exercises, should help to minimize the symptoms and improve the stability of the spine.
Most cases respond well to physical therapy in my clinical practice. I recommend you the same.
Regards Jay Indravadan Patel

What Causes Pain In Pelvic?
Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. Since the pain is radiating in nature, i suspect it to be a pinched nerve in the lumbar spine. An MRI will provide good insights for the soft tissues. Undergoing simple physical therapy like - therapeutic ultrasound therapy, TENS therapy and exercises, should help to minimize the symptoms and improve the stability of the spine. Most cases respond well to physical therapy in my clinical practice. I recommend you the same. Regards Jay Indravadan Patel
