Hello
I have posted on here before, but with a different problem. My symptoms have eased for that particular thing now but being a HA sufferer, I can never just be 'alright'. and just have to find something else to worry about! Anyway here goes with my latest concern. I have to say that this time i am convinced something really is wrong.
I am 54 years old and took HRT until 3 or 4 months ago. I stopped taking it without consulting my GP when I just ran out of tablets and thought I'd see how I got on without them. A few weeks later (about 5 or 6 weeks ago, I think) I started to get a pain in my groin, quite low down on the left. It's not agonising, just uncomfortable. Sometimes it travels down the inside of my left leg too and occasionally I have back ache with it. Recently I had some pain during sex (sorry, hope this isn't as embarrassing for you as it is for me).
I had similar symptoms a couple of years ago but I think this time it's lasted longer. When I had regular periods (not sure if I have stopped having them altogether due to being on HRT until recently) i used to get period pains on the left hand side only.
When I'm not feeling hysterical and worried, I reassure myself it's just a groin strain (it started the day after I helped my sister move house and was doing a lot of lifting - although I don't remember pulling anything.) But surely that wouldn't cause pain during sex?
I am really scared and don't want to go to my GP as I always seem to be there with one thing or an other. I am worried I may have I have ovarian cancer. Please could someone in a similar situation give me any reassurance?
