In Nov 2010, I ruptured my L5 and have had two injections and am going to physical therapy. None of which have worked, I go back to the Dr on 02/03 and will probably have to give in and have surgery. However now, I have what I believe is my period (for over a month now) and incredible pain in my lower left abdomen. It feels like I am being stabbed for a few seconds then it goes away. The bleeding is not heavy, sometimes you can not see it until I wipe and at other times you can see it with the urine as well as a fleshy colored substance. I am not sure if the two are related but any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you
