I have had several scans which are showing a 10cm chocolate cys on my left ovary. I am going for a lap in December too remove the cyst and ovary ... my gynaecologist is going too treat any more endo while she is there.
But my question is has anyone has bad leg / ankle swelling with endo ? Had scans and blood test done with no luck has too why!

Hi thank you for the reply, they do not know , been too gp several times. Hospital 3 times 5 lots of bloods 2 chest x rays . One ultra sound and waiting for another .... 2 lots of antibiotics .... they doctors have no clue 😞
This is why I am woundering if it could be endo linked
I'm assuming you've had a d-dimer blood test? My leg did not swell like this but I did develop a DVT a few days after a large endometrioma ruptured. Initial tests attributed my d-dimer level to the cyst rupture as scan didn't initially find clot, but a few days later, when I could no longer walk properly, I got back to a&me and the clot was seen on scan in seconds
It's very odd! Does it hurt? Mine felt like a dead leg - numb as if I'd had pins and needles feeling. My d dimer was over 3000. If this has happened suddenly I'd want to get it checked again as a matter of urgency. Is your gynae aware this has happened?
