Yes this does sound familiar! I have been dealing with this for a while and I would describe it almost the exact same way you did. Endo is the only thing I can think of that would cause this. I hope you have more good days than bad!

Sounds familiar, but I don't know if it's endo in the back... didn't think about it until your post.
I do have the same pain. I also had the pain around my hip joints and had endo on my uterosacral ligaments. It would make sense that it could be the same with my back. Thanks for posting!
Hope you find some relief... hope we all do :)

I have back pain as well. It feels like someone is ripping the muscles out of my back on the lower right side(if that makes sense) I also get sciatic pain on my left side. My Dr. said that the pain is likely from the endo. I brought up the possibility of it being from me sitting for long periods while I was studying and he said it wasn't likely to be from that. I have endo on my ligaments so it could be from that.

I don't know that it means endo is in your back necessarily. We have lots of nerves they our body....wherever our endo is it creates inflammation that can irritate nerves....and that can make you have pain where you don't have endo. The other thing is endo creates a lot of referred pain...making you have endo in one place but pain in a different place.

There are muscles and ligaments that help hold your uterus in place and some of these attach to your lower back/pelvic area. If Endo and surgical scar tissues are pulling, tugging, or even pushing back on your uterus they will also be doing the same to anything else attached to it. This can cause the muscles to tighted up which can cause chronic pain if not treated. I had two strange balls of tissue form on my lower back that hurt to be pushed on or touched too firmly. People couldn't see them but if they put their hand (like my mother did) there, they could definitely feel them. Sitting in some chairs really hurt and I could feel them like the princess and the pea. My GYN said it was fat, but fat doesn't have nerves, so if it was fat it shouldn't have hurt. Years later during my massage therapy session, she noticed those two nobby balls of tissue and told me that it was the muscles that help hold the uterus in place. They were severely tight and very sore to the touch after years of dealing with Endo. They were also a source of pain for my lower back and the pain would radiate out from there.

For those who don't, it is very important to have a Licensed massage therapist work on you. Just a regular masseuse can do you harm since you have a medical condition that effects your internal anatomy. Yes, you can expect a higher cost, but they actually will be improving your health and well being. It's like adding another doctor to your treatment team. Some insurance providers are now covering some massage therapy so check it out and see if your covered, and if your doctor can prescribe it for you.

Marlaina,
Yes, it will hurt as they work on those muscles. But the massage therapist needs to work on them so they can "release." They can back off on the pressure and go easy for you, and do lots of deep breathing. Be sure to drink lots of water Before the session and not just after. I found that really helps me out. I always drink lots of water but I found drinking even more the morning before my massage reduces the soreness after a session and also helps flush out those toxins and medication residues while I'm being worked on. Also, your therapist might notice scar tissue while working on you and they are very helpful at breaking that material up. Some areas, like around your psoas can be hard to massage on your own. I have a lot of scar tissue around my muscles from endo and endo excision surgery, especially my left hip area.

In the meantime, heat therapy and soaking in an epsom salt bath helped with the constant pain and muscle tightness. Be sure to keep the heating pad/source a low heat. So many women burn themselves due to their immense pain as well as high pain tolerance. Hope you feel better soon. :)

I don't think I have endo in my back physically, but like others have mentioned I had really bad endo on my uterosacral ligaments and one of my worst symptoms is lower back pain. My pain starts in my lower back and goes all the way down to my rear, so I am not sure if it is just the ligaments because I also had rectal endo (sorry if TMI!). After excision my hip pain went 100% away and my back pain improved although I still have it just before and during my cycle, just not quite so bad. For me it feels like everything is really heavy and pulling down, almost like all my insides are going to fall out my backside...

Yes. Same here. Low back and top if my hips down to my sit bones.
