Hello all, i am going insane trying to figure out what is wrong with me, and waiting for my referal letter to the hospital is taking too long!
for about 4 months now i have been having aching pains in my right leg (these are hard to describe) to the point where i can not sleep.. they are ever so painful, sometimes my leg swells and sometimes it goes a different colour, the pain is just getting worse and pain killers do nothing. sigh!
recently i have began to feel tired all the time, i am ever so bloated and have excessive wind. i have also had 3 periods in the last 5-6 weeks :( and i bleed after sexual intercourse (which is painful). and so like you do, i put all the symptoms in the internet and the first thing that comes up is ovarian cancer :eek: so i'm now bewildered on what i do from here, and yes i know i could be worrying over nothing. i feel like going to A&E department because i cant cope with pain any longer but i feel that it would be a waste of journey as they will say i have to wait for my referal letter for my scan, so what shall i do?
can anyone help me, or has had the same or similar situation..? any help/advice will be much appreciated. thank you in advance. i also forgot to mention that i have abdominal pain in the lower left hand side.. thanks once again .
 
What color does your leg turn? Is the pain mostly in your calf muscle? Any red streaks or tender red patches on your leg?

Lot's of things besides cancer can cause menstrual problems and post-coital bleeding. Endometriosis, STDs, cervical or uterine polyps, severe yeast infection (could be localized inside, you might not have typical symptoms), inflammation of the vagina or cervix possibly by infection, fibroid tumors (which are almost always benign) or cervical dysplasia, a treatable precancerous condition.
 
Hi Hun, yes the pain is mainly in the calf muscle, but also spreads up and down the leg and in my foot sometimes.
as for the colour it seems to go lighter than my left i think.
it is really annoying now, and other than sit and wait, which can take up to 6 weeks there isnt anything much i can do :( xx
thanks for your help though, i will look into the things you have mentioned. i can rule out stds though as i have been with the same partner for 3 years, so i am not worried about that.
