Pelvic/lower abdomen pain, doctor won’t listen

I haven’t, but I’ve had this pain for almost 15 years. Can it last that long? It will also go away for sometimes months at a time without causing any issue and then come back out of nowhere with varying degrees of pain day to day

I know it may sound like a stupid thought but could it be your kidney? I had the same but on my left side, and when I finally got them to listen to me I had kidney stones ( I’ve had them twice and had surgery to get them removed) but it sounds like that to me! It’s definitely worth a check cause it you let it continue the pain will be agonising believe me!😅

definitely not a stupid thought! I’m open to about anything at this point. I just want to feel normal. I’ll talk to my doctor, thanks!

which eating plan do you follow? I’m open to trying almost anything at this point.

Medical gaslighting is a thing and it’s RESL! Run girl! Run to a competent doctor who listens to you. Please take it seriously. If your doctor isn’t listening to your concerns and working his ass off trying to fix it? Go somewhere else cause It could literally mean life or death.

Hey . Sorry for my delayed response … I’ve just had a baby myself so have been a bit preoccupied!

Thanks for your message… I’m sorry you’ve had so much pain with not a lot of answers. Unfortunately the western medical system just doesn’t have answers for a lot of painful conditions.. people just have a hard time admitting that.

It can be hard to give advice without assessing you myself or seeing you in person but I think the diet thing that was suggested could be worth a try as it could be related to systemic inflammation/irritation. Diet can play a big role in pain provocation.

I would also see a pelvic floor physiotherapist in person. Pain with sex and around the hips and lower abdomen can indicate muscle tension, nerve pain, muscle weakness, hypersensitivity etc. - there are a number of things that can be treated with pelvic floor therapy and it’s usually safe during pregnancy unless you have any high risk conditions that your OB is concerned about so you can ask.

I hope that is at least some what helpful. I would look around your area to see if there are any pelvic floor Physical therapist you could see who could start treating you. It could take sometime to see improvement.. chronic pain does get better but ideally you are able to work slowly and consistently with someone who hopefully is experienced with chronic pain.

Manual therapy (with a pelvic floor therapist) can be extremely helpful in reducing pain. It’s not an area you can easily assess or work on yourself so having a therapist do that can do wonders.
