Back pain and leg pain?

Hello loves! So I've been thinking hard about all the craziness wih my lady parts and tryin to think of all the things I've been feeling this past year ( the burn has been happening alot this year) I have burning in my vagina and twice this year I felt a shooting pain from my belly down my vagina. It has only happened twice. I also have lower back pains and a pain that runs down my right leg. I've never had back pain and I'm wondering if this could all play a part. I'm sure someone has posted something like this so I'm sorry if I'm asking a question again. Also at times I feel like my butt check burns but it only last for a few seconds? Anyone else relate? I saw a specialist and he said it was dermatitis, which is weird because I have no rash! He also said my back pain has nothing to do with my vaginal burning >:/

it sounds like a mild case of pudendal neuralgia. I have a lot of vibrations in my right buttock, it's horrid!
I also get random pains that come and go. I have no idea what triggers them or makes them dissappear. They also diagnosed me with sciatica (??)

anyway, just so you know, if you ever get pain with sitting, it's a pudendal nerve problem. Unfortunately, doctors don't admit it really exists, they claim it it "very rare". pff

Could be endo too I get that but only when im ovulating or perioding (I just created a word haha)

Thanks for the replays ladies! My doctor just dismissed me saying the back pain has nothing to do with it, but this year the burning has been at its worst and my back hurts! I sat really funny one night with my son on my lap and I went to a chiropractor and he cracked my back pretty good and said I probably pushed my pelvic bone. My back felt fine after but now it just kinda always hurts. Not to badly but my leg pain feel likes it straining. Ugh the joys of being a women! NOT!

I love how they say its all rare but then there are so many women here in pain! I just get so mad sometimes GRRR

Oh doctors make me mad - back pain can be linked to vulvodynia! Without getting tooooo technical (I’m a lay person!), there are a number of nerves that form the sacral plexus (a network of nerves that is located in the lower back, at the back of the pelvis). These nerves include the sciatic nerve, gluteal nerves and the pudendal nerve. So an issue in the lower back (trauma, compression, muscle/nerve inflammation, bone/muscle stiffness, structural problems etc) can potentially effect one or more of these nerves. Also, irritated nerves in the pelvic area can cause the pelvic floor to shorten and tighten (which can also cause vulval pain) It might be worth getting a second opinion from another chiropractor or a women’s health physio? (if nothing else, to have it properly ruled out as a cause rather than just dismissed).

Thanks for all the advise! I love this forum it has been a godsend! All the lovely women in this forum are just so helpful! I've seen two specialist and I feel like the second opinion of dermatitis was just ruling out process. Iam going to bring up all my other issues at my next appointment! Sending lots of prayers and wishes you have more better day

Hey sweetie, are you still using the Bemadryl and where do you actually apply it specifically when you do? I have been getting lower back pain but I think it's more to do with bad posture and slouching. I don't know though!

Hey tink! How are you sweetie?? I've been thinkin about ya! I take a pill. Like just a regular allergy pill it just calms down the burn. I still feel kind of raw down there but it takes the intensity down a bit. Give it a try! I hope it helps! I slouch alot too! I'm sure that plays a part in my back pain. Hope your doing well

Hi,
I've had v for a long time, too many years to write down, it's only in the last couple of years I have tried different treatments, half way through this process I hurt my back hoovering !!!! About two months after hurt by back I suffered from a numbness/ pain discomfort down my right leg into my foot!

Cut a long story short u had a nerve block at l4 l5, after about two weeks 95% of my v pain had gone and my hunneymoon was saved, I went from not being able to have sex to being able to have pain free sex and no burning after ! And no medication

The block did little for my leg symptoms so I have just had it re done!!!!
This time was the opposite effect, with 24 hours all the related pain was the worst ithas ever been in a long time !
Surely this must show the two are related ??

@ sunflower....true, I even heard of things like tarlov cysts of the spine causing groin pain....

Hey lauren, ohh its a tablet not a cream. Okay will do. Still not great I think I have thrush now too as I'm really itchy! How are you? ! X

Sunflower thanks for all the info! I just have a gut feeling my back has something to do with it. The doctor sure didnt think so. Maybe next appointment i'll boot him in his ass then turn round and kick him in the balls and suggest that he put a Steriod cream on it
Tink aw hunny sorry to hear about the thrush. I've never had thrush, and I actually really haven't had to many UTIs or yeast infections in my life. My last flare up I did use n over the counter yeast infection medicine and boy did that make me feel 1000 times worst! I've been praying for ya love! I sure hope we all find a way of of this crap! Sometimes I think man I wish I would wake up with a penis! Lol I would just tuck up back and go on with my life pain free my pain hasn't been toooo bad which I'm thankful. I think the cream the doctors say to use make it worst! I use crisco down there. My vagina has turned into a kitchen, but it is very soothing. Grrrr

Drs just drive me nuts - they can be so patronising & ignorant about all this.....I have back pain too & mine is definitely linked to the V. Dr was dismissive but physio said lower back pain can cause the nerves to get crushed and irritated. Also since I've been having physio on my back & hips my V pain is getting better.... My Dr gave me steroid cream too & it just made things a whole lot worse ....
