Since a few months, I sometimes have some pain in the uterus or bladder. It feels like I have a weight or a rock. It is acompanied by sharp pain in the lower back. It's usually a few days after the end of my periods.

At first, I tought I was ovulating, but it doesn't make sense. Then, I was thinking that maybe I had an urinary infection. It doesn't make sense either because I don't have any other pain and no fever and it goes like it comes. It comes fast and it is lasting a few hours.

Members shared that pelvic and lower back pain with no visible cause is a common and frustrating experience, with several identifying potential connections to fibromyalgia, interstitial cystitis, pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, prolapsed uterus, kidney stones, or a tilted uterus pressing on the spine. Many members described persistent pain despite normal test results, emphasizing the importance of seeking specialists like urologists, urogynecologists, or pelvic floor therapists who understand that muscle cramping and tension can cause real pain even when scans appear normal. A recurring theme was the value of self-advocacy, keeping a symptom log to identify patterns, doing Kegel exercises to strengthen pelvic muscles, and persisting in finding answers despite dismissive responses from some medical professionals.

I have had this problem for many years. It did get better after my hysterectomy (done for other reasons) but I still have it. I also have interstitial cystitis which could be part of it but not entirely certain. I was just finally dx with fibromyalgia about 2 weeks ago after years of trying to figure out what's wrong.

Both my GYN and the Urogynecologist dismissed me saying there's no reason for me to have pelvic pain. They wee both wrong. Pelvic floor muscles can cramp up just like any other muscle in body.

Strange but I was telling my husband close to the very same thing this morning. I havent had a period in a while (in Menopause and had an ablation to stop them) but for the past two days Ive had a lot of pain and pressure in my lower pelvic. Of course, if I go to the doctor, they'll probably blow me off. I just dont go anymore.

I got this feeling when I had kidney stones. You can easily get tested for this at your GP.

I also had a test done that found that my bladder has intense contractions the same way the uterus does. If you don't get any answers through your gyn I would see a urologist or even better a urogynocologist. From what I've read it's very common to have interstitial cystitis with fibromyalgia.
