Awaiting Colposcopy, lower back pain, right hip & leg down to toes… What’s going on ?!?
I am waiting in line for a colposcopy to confirm that i have cervical cancer. ( I couldn’t find m/update my last posting) In the last few days, i have had a sudden onset of lower back pain , from my tail~bone to my right hip and shooting down my leg. My GP retired earlier this year, and I have another 3 weeks til the appt with the Ob/Gyn oncologist…
I’m also a parent w/ 2 children. I haven’t the time / ability to sit in the urgent care unit (it can take several hours) as I am also nauseous w/headaches from the stress of it all)
In the past I had taken Lakota Pain Relief Capsules ( I have a weak stomach) I was told by the referring DR NOT to as it may cause more issues with the potential of Cervical Cancer… Aleve (Ibuprofen/NSAID)no longer takes the edge off of the pain, what if anything can you recommend for pain relief ?!?
The pain is 24/7 and is interrupting my sleep and keeping me confined close to home for now… (it’s difficult to bear full weight on my right leg,and i feel weak and nauseated at the same time)
Thank you both for answering my question.
After being admitted to hospital (I couldn’t bear any weight period)
I was found to have an inflammed Sciatic nerve ?!?
They’ve scheduled me for a CAT scan later this week to determine the exact cause.
In the mean~time, I’m all mellowed out on Codeine and have been told todo as little as possible til then…
I have crutches to use for now,(mostly for balance)
I’ll be starting a rotation of physio and massage therapy as well in the coming weeks.
Possibly followed by chiropractic adjustments & accupuncture for additional pain relief…

As far as your hip and leg pain, it sounds like your back is out of adjustment. A chiropractor can relieve that. Your sciatic nerve may be pinched, that can cause in your back, hip and leg.
It’s possible that you did something to get your whole spine out of alignment, that can also be causing the headaches and nausea, although there are certainly other causes for that.
Sometimes if your neck is out of adjustment, the muscle down the side of your neck can get very tight. This can bring on nausea, headache and eventually vertigo. Trust me, you don’t want to get to that point. Use a hot pack on your neck to try to relax the muscle, but that is only a temporary measure and won’t fix the problem.
Find the time to go to a chiropractor and get an adjustment. It’s ridiculous to live with the pain because you think you can’t get to a doctor’s appointment. Take the kids with you if you have to. If that is not the problem, then you wasted an appointment, but if it is the source of the problem, then you just solved a lot of issues.
You must put yourself first, if you don’t, you may become incapacitated and then where will the kids be?
November 13th, 2009 at 5:55 pmYour headaches are causing you a lot of your problems, right into your stomach. It seems that when the pain is bad enough, especially for females, that the pain has a way of rolling over in the brain into other parts, the place of choice, the stomach. Your right hip is a different matter, it is being caused by the tendon having shortened itself, something they do quit often. In this shortened state it pulls your thigh into your hip and makes it hard to walk and move in general. There is a way to release that as well. Here is how to release your head, back, lower back and hip. The lower back can be done in several places and all the way to the end of your tailbone:
November 13th, 2009 at 5:55 pmFor your neck:
place your hand alongside your head and push your thumb in under your ear and place it on the muscle there. Take your fingers and place them on the back of your neck on the muscles there. Press them together and hold a good amount of pressure on them. Then relax, take a deep breath an happening, the muscle going limp under the pressure. Continue to hold until the entire muscle has gone limp.
Back:
Place your left hand on your left knee. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and with your fingertips find the muscle next to your spine. Press on it and hold. Relax, take a deep breath and exhale and don’t tense up any part of your body. After about 30 seconds there should be a release happening and when it does slowly lower yourself forward onto your right leg. If you can lean over the outside edge of your leg it will be better for your release. Continue holding for a total of one minute. Then release but rest your body there for one minute longer. Then reverse and do the right side.
For lower back, on the buttocks:
Put both hands behind your back and place them on the muscles alongside your spine and press on them and hold. Now relax, take a deep breath and exhale and don’t tense up any part of your body. When the release starts to happen, slowly lower yourself forward as far as you can go. Then release the pressure but hold your body there for one minute longer.
Pelvic tendon
With only shorts on lay on a bed and pull your legs up and bend them at the knee so your feet are flat on the bed. Take your hand and run it down the crease between your thigh and body. When you reach the area of your pelvis you will feel a bump in that crease. That is the tendon to work on. Take it between your fingers and thumb and press and hold a good amount of pressure on it. Then relax, take a deep breath and exhale and don’t tense up any part of your body. After 30 seconds slowly lower your leg outward until it has gone as far as it will. Then release the pressure but rest your leg there for one minute longer. As a side note, if you cannot get a grip on the tendon, press on it near the pelvis with as much pressure as you can. Don’t let it slip out from under that pressure. Then continue with the rest of the exercise.
any questions let me know.
