Ibs Pelvic pain and Headaches

by Angelika Hickerson
(Colorado - USA)

Have Ibs and all the symptoms but don't know what to do about the pelvic pain and headaches I have pretty much on a daily basis.
Past 3 month been having really bad pelvic pain and headaches, pelvic pain gets so bad that I can't sit or even walk without pain. The pain is also in my lower back. When I get up from a sitting position I get a real sharp pain going through my lower back bone were I have to stop getting up for a second.
Does anyone else have this?
Sometimes I wonder if it could be something else, but I had hysterectomy and have Sleep Apnea / high blood pressure
Doctor gave me Bentyl and it help some days but if I flare which seems to be a lot than it is not working much.

Siân / Pelvic pain
by: Angelika

Thank you for letting me know, went back to the GI office and he started me on Amitriptyline HCL 25 mg. Also still take Bentyl daily. It seems to take some of the pain and I can sit at work longer but after 6 hour back to the pain just a little less. And when I flare up it hurts a lot and the meds don't seem to work. I feel like I am numbing myself with meds and hope it is nothing else.

Pelvic pain
by: Siân@IBS-Life

I get this sometimes, and I am not sure if it is linked to Levator Ani syndrome. There are two articles on here written by a gentleman who has suffered with this. I was also reading lately of pelvic spasms. I actually mean to ask my doctor about this, but every time I go, it is about something else, and I feel I cannot take a list of complaints to my doctor. :(

could be something else
by: Anonymous

I also have IBS and started to have flare ups so bad that i had to stay in my home for days. I started to have the pelvic pain with it as you do. I developed such a high fever that I ended up in hospital and it ended up being c-diff. What a horror. It was really miserable.
