Whats Causing Back Pain And Stomach Pain Radiating To The Buttocks And Thigh 2 Years After Healed Back Injury?
I injured my back in dancing class back in 2012 (spring) and it healed after 1 week (partially) with complete pain free achieved after approx 10 days. One week ago, I noticed a dull ache in my lower back then my period started 2 days later. The pain went after 2 days of my period ending. I don't normally have such severe back pain with my periods. From time to time, I have expeienced mild to moderate back pain and lots of stomach pain. This time all of the pain was in my back and none in my tummy. I also noticed on the last day of this pain, that it had radiated to my buttocks and thighs. What's going on please? Thank you

Hi
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your worry and I could say that this is not because of your injury but this could be dysmenorrhea, refer pain of this could be toward your buttock and thigh and this will go way with the help of any pain killer and the drug of choice would be ""Ibuprofen"" you can try this, nothing to worry about this, this is not the big problem will go away soon, take care and have nice day.

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
I suspect it to be due to Menstrual pain.
Because the pain typically comes just before menstruation and goes off after menstruation.
I think may not be related your in the past and it was treated.
Menstrual pain may radiate radiate to inner thighs, groin, low back or buttocks.
This is normal and not a serious problem.
High levels of stress, depression, anxiety, and disruption of social networks can increase the incidence of menstrual pain.
But some times this type of menstrual pain may be associated with endometriosis, uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts.
Thus you need a complete gynecological pelvic examination with further investigations like Ultrasound abdomen to rule out any above said conditions.
If all these are ruled out, then it could be a menstrual pain.
It is due to increasing level of prostaglandins during menstruation and triggering of contraction of uterus.
It can be treated with pain killers like ibuprofen and avoidance of stress.
Hope this helps.
Please write back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
