Let me thank both of you for responding. Both of your responses are good possibilities, I do have an occasional problem with constipation so intestinal motility might be an issue... however generally I go every day, .. and I have no blood in the stools, and the pain is NOT relieved upon defecation (sorry if I'm blunt, old nursing habit). That seems to be the primary tell-tale factor in determining if its related to bowels / intestines / colon. If I have to go it might cause worse cramps, but it by no means goes away once I go.
As far as progesterone goes I've read its given up to 4x normal doses for initiation of menarche in women with ammenorhea, so I only remotely think this as a possibility, but that's really the only thing I can associate with changes over the years in my medication routine. I've ALWAYS had pain down there, but like I think I said before it was only sporadic, and went away, so I didn't pay it much mind other than the annoyance once in a month or so. I really should've been a bit more self aware in the past honestly, in retrospect
Its just gotten really really old at this point. I hate to use the word 'chronic', because the severity diminishes especially if I'm asleep... it seems worse later in the afternoon. I've suggested a GI studies with my doc, seems to go over like a lead balloon. Frankly I need better docs in my opinion. I'm not a hypochondriac, I have a real issue here... and they seem uninterested in finding the cause. They prescribe muscle relaxants and leave me be. And I can point to the exact location is the problem.. and the location never ever changes. Its very specifically hurting in ONE location, the location they identified my mysterious alien organ at. (Which at first was a uterus, but later who knows). As far as I know I've never had that area operated on specifically... though there was some old scar tissue around the umbilicus I have no idea how it got there.
Frustrated, tired, in pain, and above all fed up. I find it ironic.. the medical establishment frowns a lot on self diagnostics, but if I didn't do my own research, I'd be even worse off than I am now. It was with my insistence that they did my bone scan, my ultrasound, and pretty much every test that has found anomalies. If I hadn't been my own advocate, I'd be... probably as frustrated but with fewer clues.
