Hi there,
Let me first say, I have fibromyalgia, which is a chronic pain condition. BUT people with fibro have to be attuned to whether their pain feels 'normal' or if it could be caused by something else...
So here's my mystery.
1) Dec. 28 (2013) sudden pain erupts in:
- pelvis (across the front)
- lower back (just to the right of the spine)
- right hip
- right groin
- right upper leg
Tests are ordered (blood, urine, ultrasound)
- everything comes back negative, except the ultrasound which shows a simple cyst on the left ovary.
- doctor is not worried
2) Jan. 18 (2014) pain worsens in:
- right hip
- lower back (just to the right of the spine)
- both are made more painful by pressing on the areas
Doctor orders six weeks of physiotherapy.
Meanwhile...
3) Pain erupts under right arm; there is no discernible lump, but there is aching, stabbing pain, and it is much worse with applied pressure.
Several days later, underarm pain subsides.
4) Feb. 18, pain by lower spine has subsided, but erupts in:
- right hip: stabbing, aching, shooting pains; pain made worse with applied pressure--it burns when pressed.
- right groin
- right upper leg
- right side, above the hip
- lower back, above the hip
There is pain with and without movement. Weightbearing doesn't seem to have an impact.
5) Feb. 20 I visit my doctor to request follow-up tests, given physio hasn't solved the pain in my hip and groin.
- he had originally mentioned the option of an X-ray
- should I ask for a CT scan? Another ultrasound? An MRI?
Does anyone have insight on these symptoms?
My biggest fear is the big 'C', but I realize it could also be another ovarian cyst, symptoms of fibro, a hernia, or even just a result of sleeping on my right side too much...
Please share your insight or experience. Thank you! :blush:
