Random question...

(which I'll also ask my doctor next month when I see her)

Does anyone have experience with back pain that starts in the lower back, and spreads all the way around the abdomen, such that one feels nauseated as well, and climbs up the spine to wrap around the lower ribs, making breathing somewhat painful also? Some positions are more uncomfortable than others, but no position seems to alleviate the pain, so when it happens at night (which is when it most commonly does), it makes it almost impossible to sleep.

It's very sucky and very weird, and I have no idea what the hell is going on. It's happened every so often in the past year or two, I don't recall it happening previous to that.

When's the last time you got checked for ovarian problems? Sometimes bloating and pain can be a sign of repro trouble.

I have actually been thinking about some of my own recent symptoms and thinking about getting the blood test that is extra good at detecting ovarian cancer... we don't have it in our family, really, but there are more carcinogens around these days.

Ah, true, and that tends to be misdiagnosed and caught late, too (I lost a friend in college to ovarian cancer). I've also got an appt with my gyn coming up in May; I'll talk to her about that if we haven't figured out anything else conclusive before then.
