Leg pain

Hi

I just wondered if anyone experienced leg pain? My pain starts across my pelvis and then in my right hip flexor when the pain and uncomfortableness gets worse it goes down my right thigh and eventually to my shin, the majority of the time my right leg then feels stiff and sometimes numb?

I've had one lot of surgery already but am due for another scan in two weeks and it looks like more surgery is on the cards. A GP told me the leg pain had nothing to do with it but thankfully the xo sultans at the hospital acknowledged it.

Just wondered if I was alone in this type of pain?

Yes, I think I get something similar. When the pain is bad it seems to run down into my legs. For me it usually starts with the left. Makes me feel wobbly and it's hard to walk.

Mines gets very intense in my thighs during bad flare ups! Like you, the doctors don't believe me! X

Yes, happens to me too. Mine goes down the front and all round my thigh in a numb, tingling but sharp pain when things are really bad. Don't listen to the GP, it's definitely something that happens to other women I've talked to also. x

I get right sided pain that goes in my hip, back and down my leg when I have a big flare up. My gynaecologist told me it was the pressure? Xx

Yes?? I have adenomyosis and I get that pushing down feeling, like everything is going to come out. Maybe that's what she meant but I'm not 100% sure. X

Oooh this is interesting. I get this on/ off and alway thought it was deferred pain from cystitas/ adhesions being irritated.

However recently diagnosed endo on a lap so actually it mosy likely is linked to that.

Sounds silly but the nervous system is a crazy thing I just wonder if this weird leg pain (mine goes to knee cap) has anything to endo being on the inside ligaments by ovaries and deferred from there.

I get leg pain. It's more like sciatica. From my last surgery I was told that my endo was sat on some deep nerves and that reflected the pain I was getting x

Yes, I get a very similar sounding pain routinely running down my left leg. My consultant has said it's endo related.
