My question is can endro, and a tilted uterus cause back pain? > >Also will it cause pain up to the middle of your back or just lower. Maxine, if you have just been diagnosed with endometriosis, I'd like to provide you with a list of patient resources. WITSENDO is a particularly helpful place to discuss symptoms, and I would highly recommend _The Endometriosis Sourcebook_ by Mary Lou Ballweg. I have endometriosis and have always had back pain (esp with menstruation). I've been told it is due to endo in the cul-de-sac area (behind uterus) and on the bowel. A retroverted uterus can also cause back pain. Here's the list of resources -- * The Endometriosis Association 8585 N. 76th Place Milwaukee, WI 53223 1-800-992-3636 Conducts research into the cause of endo, provides information and support. $35/year membership dues. * WITSENDO, an online support group for endo sufferers and others interested in the disease. It's a subscription only group, so your posts are private.
