Hi. When you say painful legs, is it muscular or joint?? Years ago I found out I wasn't able to cope with anything containing the sweetener aspartame as it mimics symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis! Took a while and lots of tests!
Following a big op for endo I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I started taking tumeric and it's really helped. Need to check there are no contraindications with any medication.
Hope you find relief. X
Do you know what blood test was done? If it was D-dimer it could possibly be DVT/blood clot, however this is more likely to cause pain in one leg. I had a DVT two years ago which they believe was caused by a large endometrioma putting pressure on an artery. Otherwise I think phone go again and ask for more clarification about blood rest done.
Hi it's more muscle pain I was on nights last night & the pain has just woke me up it doesn't last long,I can't remember what blood test it was
I get this around my period starting at my lower back, hips and down my thighs. I'm so fidgety I can't relax in the chair and my knees burn.
I've just been told my uterus is stuck to my bowel so I don't know if it's related to that but I did read and article that occasionally it can occur in the legs. How they test for that I've got idea.
