To whom it concerns- I to have a simular problem but mine is with constapation. For no apparent reason over the coarse of several yr's. On and off i exsperiance sharp pain/the only way i can explain this is ,it goes from the uterus to the end of my tailbone.(Spasms)they hurt like the dickens. kinda remind's me of labor pains. I have not had this checked out. when i was 21 i was diagnosed with endo-had surgery DC,Laproscopy,frozen cervix-ect. they had found suspecious cells-beginning stages of cancer. However after a yrs worth of treatment and lots of money,they got it under control. I am 33 yrs old now.,i had no symptoms to show that anything was wrong. However now im having these strange spasms,bloating,painful lower back ,where at times it hurts to sit or stand. I just wanted you to know your not alone. Do you think this could be something serious???? Ive been so hesitant abt going to the doctor's. cause right now i have no health insurance coverage. Im not eligiabel tell June. Your opinion,would be greatly appreciated on this matter.
