I ve had a pain that comes and goes, below what I d consider to be my abdomen, sort of the pelvic area. I had my uterus removed almost two years ago but still have my ovaries. Scar tissue from a C-sectiin 21 years ago. No traumatic injury to the area. No bleeding or bruises. Going from a sitiing position to a standing one is difficult and painful. Ideas? I m 44, working w a new rheumatologist to arrive at a diagnosis in the arhritis family, so I can t discount that as part of the problem either.
