Pain in back of legs & knees after sex

I finally talked to my OB about this issue. He said it was a cystocele. He also said if it didn't go away within, i can't remember...like 6 months after delivery then I might need surgery or something else done. I've since had my baby & have no issues with it. So there is hope for others experiencing this.....it does go away! I found a web site that explaines it little. If you explore the site it describes symptoms, risk factors, when to see a doctor, etc. Sometimes just knowing what it is makes the difference.

Causes
"Your pelvic floor consists of a sheet of muscles and ligaments that support your bladder, uterus, colon and small intestine — organs that fill your pelvic cavity. If these supporting tissues stretch or weaken, some of your internal organs may sink lower in your body, or prolapse."

There is a picture to click on that gives you a visual on what is happening. It is a drawing & is tastefully done if you're worried about it being an inappropriate picture. In any event, it makes me wish I had been more dilligent & consistent on doing kegels. Hope this helps & good luck!

I am so happy to find some people with the same problem. I am 28 years old, and 25 weeks into my third pregnancy. I have experienced pain after sex in the backs of my hamstrings, originating from my buttocks for all three pregnancies. Sometimes the pain is so severe I feel nauseous, almost as bad as labour contractions but in my legs.
As someone else commented, the only way I can relieve the pain is to lay down fully but with two boys under 5 to run after, the chances of that are slim and I end up battling through the pain for a few hours or more. The last time I had the pain so bad that I also had cramping in my uterus, like braxton hicks I guess and that had me a bit worried.
Has anyone else found any more information on these symptoms or any remedies for the dreaded pain? Abstaining from sex may be on the cards otherwise and that will be disappointing for both of us, especially with 15 weeks to go!

I love that there are others out there with this as well. Although Im am sorry that this is happening to all of us. I have all the same symptoms as you all have above and i'm on my 7th pregnancy, each time it does get a lttle worse and my pain can last all day. I have found that if i use a hot cloth as an heating pad right after helps with the pain, and the swelling too. I just would like to find a cure for it or help better the symptoms. let me know if you find anything...

Hello, is there anyone to help me?
Last year (Oct 2008) I had pain in my back and feeling of fatigue in both joints. I went to a top neuro surgen. I had xrays of my back and both joints but the xrays were clean. The surgen prescribed me some multi vitamin tablets (food suppliment). As I am a journalist and have to stay on desk for longer hours in the same position while working on computer, the surgen was of the view that the pain was caused by over exertion.
He also sent me for physiotheraphy.
But, I was not satisfied.
So, I went to an Orthopadiac Surgeon and he examined my xrays and blood tests and suggested the same remedy (multi vitamins and some excercises). The conclusions of both the doctors were the same but it too the pain more than 3 months to go away.

The pain went away for almost ten months but is back again!!
The pain is not severe but it causes me trouble in free movement. I feel my legs tired and the palms of my legs being pinched by a slight cold wave. I feel my feet muscles not very relaxed, stiff, and hence feel inconvince in my knees also.
Can setting in the same position cause this problem?
And, yes, I do alot of sex and masterbate almost daily while setting in the same position and trying to prolong the moments.
Also, the recent pain has come after I started travelling too often with train for longer distances. besides, I have started learning german langauge and sit in a class from morning till noon on a chair to which I am not used.
Physically, I am a well-built man (31) and muscular and I cant believe that my muscles could be that weak to cause me pain. Because, I love cooking and take good care of my food. I dont smoke and drink only red wine and that too once or twice a month.
And, yes, I had started excercise last year after the pain went away. I used to run for 10 to 15 km and felt perfect. I even did some hiking after the first pain and felt perfectly fit.I felt as this pain will never return. but, it is here. Not as severe as last year, but can become. The pain is sort of muscle stiffness but I also feel it sometimes in my hips. In both palms of my feet I feel a sort of numbness, the same symptoms as that of last years, pain.

Yours,
LOST

i have the same problem, and I am 24 weeks pregnant.
However i have noticed, my legs (back of the knees) are hurting after sex only when my husband ejaculates. TImes when he doesn't I am fine! Are you experiencing anything the same?
