Hi everyone

Just wondering if anyone has experienced similar things and if you got any relief. I literally cannot sit down!

I had a baby in 2023 and since then I have had excruciating sit bone pain which radiates down my thigh at the back, it is on one side only. I did have an episiotomy during her birth and the pain is on that side.

I have seen many doctors, orthopaedics, pain management, physiotherapists and many scans all of which are normal.

My pain can be replicated by palpating the vaginal wall on the side of the pain, and worse after bowel movements and sexual intercourse. I have known endometriosis and I have had 4 operations in the past.

All signs, I think, are pointing towards pelvic floor problems. I did have pelvic girdle dysfunction in the last month of pregnancy.

I have an appointment coming up with a pelvic floor specialist gynaecologist but I just wondered if anyone else has this and if there's anything specific I should be asking her? Thank you

Hi everyone! I was just wondering if anyone had experienced what I am experiencing. I have known endometriosis, 4 surgeries.

I came off my contraceptive pill in 2022 and got pregnant a couple of months later, since then though I have remained off the pill and now have excruciating leg and buttock pain. The pain is in my sit bones and radiates down my thigh, one side only. The pain is worse when I sit down or lay on that side. I am really struggling to get by in life now! Pain medication does not help. Ive seen physiotherapists, orthopaedics and others and no one has any idea.

A friend of mine asked if it could be endometriosis deposits as they can go on the sciatic nerve.

Has anyone experienced this? If I were to have exploratory surgery how would they get to that area?

Also nothing shows up on any scans and I've had a lot which is another endometriosis thing!!

Thanks
