I've just come out of hospital, having been admitted due to chronic pain. I had MRI which showed 10cm fibroid, benign cyst and thick lining of uterus - I'm 53 and pre menopausal. I have been having sever nerve like pain in buttock and goes down leg. I assumed gyni consultant would put this down to fibroid pressing on nerve. However, she was adamant pain nothing to do,with fibroids and ordered MRI for back which orthopaedic looked at and said was fine. She was still certain the pain and my enlarged uterus were not connected so has referred me to physio and out me in Esmya, and I then left hospital with many pain meds. These get me through the day with a background niggling pain, occasionally peaks and I roll for a bit. She is away at present, but will see me when gets back, my husband has made a private appointment with consultant who is covering. I am so sure the two are connected as they began together. Is he likely to disagree with a colleague? I can't go on with this level,of,pain - when I was admitted to hospital it was via a&e due to pain, and I'm scared the pain may escalate again. Any views/thoughts welcome.

    Hi I had intense pain in my lower back, along with my hip and lots of other pain, eventually unable to walk with it. I found out much later that I had a retroverted uterus (uterus tilted towards the spine). No one mentioned this at the time, but that was why there was so much pressure on my back, kidneys etc. The fibroid I had was submucous and located at the back of my womb (I think) something I found out after everything as there was a lot of confusion when they diagnosed an ovarian cyst that was distorting the whole of my womb? To this day I am still a little confused by it all and have to go back to my paperwork to understand it all.
