Hi thanks for replies.. My doc ruled out water/kidney infection (I had to ring for the results so I've not seen them since) Still experiencing severe pains in my pelvic area. Have been taking 2 x paracetamol & 2 x ibuprofen religously every four hours - even through the night, as soon as they begin to wear off, the pain starts back with a vengeance. It's actually getting worse as opposed to better, and I'm still very much constipated and not passing much water, despite drinking plenty. It's very uncomfortable, and nothing seems to relieve it - the painkillers just take the edge off, but it has been constant for 5 days now and I've lost weight and I'm feeling very weak and tired. I was due to have a coil (IUD) taken out, but had to be referred for a scan a few weeks ago as the doctor could not locate it - they were going to call me back when they got the results but never did. It has not caused me any problems up to now, but could it be this causing the pain - possibly? I've rearranged another appointment with doc, but cannot get in until tomorrow.
