Left side dull chronic pain
37 yo f
Dull left side pain for over a year. Worse in the morning. I thought for sure it was my bladder.
Cystoscopy- clear
Colonoscopy- IBS. Polyp benign.
CT in August showed:
-a 4 mm right upper pole renal calcification which may reflect calculus versus stone within a calyceal diverticulum
-a 1.6 cm left lower pole renal cyst
-There is a 5 mm right hepatic lobe cyst
- pelvic varices
I have herniated discs
-At the L2/L3 level, right foraminal disc herniation is identified resulting in right neural foraminal
encroachment without central canal encroachment.
-At the L3/L4 level, disc bulge is identified abutting the ventral aspect of the thecal sac resulting in bilateral
neural foraminal encroachment without central canal encroachment.
-At the L4/L5 level, right foraminal disc herniation is identified with disc bulge and annular tear resulting in
bilateral neural foraminal encroachment with moderate right neural foraminal narrowing encroaching upon
the right exiting L4 nerve roots without central canal encroachment.
-At the L5/S1 level, disc bulge is noted without significant central canal or neural foraminal encroachment.
-Hyperintensity is noted involving the right lobe of the liver measuring 0.6 cm likely representing a
hemangioma.
Pelvic & transvaginal ultrasound normal
(I'm going to repeat these as I have a history of cysts and possible endometriosis.)
The pain is pretty chronic left side in back and if I press the front I can feel discomfort as well. I've gone to PT for my herniated discs and I know I have a pinched nerve in my right leg.
I have an appt with an endometriosis doctor to check if that's related because it seems to be more active during my period but I'm not 100% sure. Of course my brain keeps going to worse case scenarios.
