Thread: so confused

Hi,
I am a 46 year old woman. I had a partial hyst in 1992, and now years later I am having problems. It all started with lower back pain about a year ago. MRI revealed lumbar problems. Now over the last 3 months, not only does my back hurt, but my lower stomach hurts, I am so bloated sometimes I feel like I am 3 months pregnant. I have gained about 20 lbs in a year.I have also had 3 bladder infections in the last 4 months and am actually sick to my stomach every morning just like morning sickness. In fact the pain in the stomach is alot like having cramps from a period. It is now affecting my bowel movements. Could anyone tell me if any of you have experienced these problems and what it was. Could my ovaries just being drying up and causing these problems.
Thanks for your help.
Keri
