Q: Ouch! Pelvic Pain - Fibroids?
asked by: Onbrake on March 9th, 2006

I had a ct scan and it was reported that I had a mildly enlarged uterus and a left ovarian cyst (appears simple) 3 x 1.8 cm. The mild enlargement of uterus is 5.5 cm in ap diameter and 7-8 cm in transverse diameter. From my research, that is not very enlarged, if at all. However, I have extreme pelvic pain. Like there is a boulder in my bladder and it's going to burst any minute. Could this be from fibroids? From what I read on these boards, no one with these fibroids, even huge ones, seems to say they had any pain or discomfort! What else could this be? I have a pelvic ultrasound scheduled for wednesday but I seriously don't know if I can hold out until then!

Didn't your Dr. Give you anything for pain? Have you tried a heating pad with some tylenol or you might talk to yor pharmacist about your situation and see what he or she might recommend over the counter that is not by presc. Call your dr in the morning and let him know that you are sill having pain and that you need something for it.
Good luck!
Hope you get some answers soon!

Thanks, Sandy
Thanks for your reply. I have been on a heating pad pretty nonstop but more for the back than the pelvic area. I can't explain it, it's not a crampy thing, it's a stretched out thing. I'm going to move it to the front soon though because at this point i'll do anything. I'm taking aspirin. Nothing else. I took off of work today but I can't take off until the ultrasound wednesday! And even then, it will be another 2-3 days for results, maybe over the next weekend. Aggghhh. If I can't stand it anymore, I will go to the emergency room and hope they do an ultrasound and diagnose it quicker so I can get some treatment. It's just that I have heavier periods for the past 6 months or so, with clots and lots of cramping and pain, but absolutely no interim bleeding at all. Bleeding between periods seems to be a symptom of endometrial cancer and other serious disease, so i'm left thinking this has to be adenomyosis or fibroids, but no one else seems to say they have constant pain with those things, only during their periods.
