throbbing lower leg

hi all,

New here I’ve had endo for 15 years it eased up and I thought it had gone when I had my daughter 11 years ago but when she was 8 it came back with vengeance. Had a laparoscopy and encision surgery in Oct 2023 pain eased up for 3 months then came back yet again so now they have started me on Prostap with HRT. It’s been 2 weeks since my first injection and today I’ve had the heaviest bleed I’ve ever had using up to 4 pads an hour and I have the strangest throbbing aching sensation in my lower right leg! I’ve never ever had a pain like this has anyone else?

Hi it took three and a half weeks for my bleeding to stop with prostrap. And sometimes i get the aching in my legs, usually when I'm anemic so it might be worthwhile to get checked out at the doctor's for anemia especially with the heavy bleeding. I hope this helps and you get things sorted out soon sending you a big hug too 🤗❤️

Oh hrt, can cause bleeding too hence why i have not taken it, I'm using vitamin d instead and i already had hot flashes / night sweats so I'm used to them please feel free to ask anything x

Hello! I'm not a doctor but I strongly suggest you go to the doctor. Throbbing in lower leg can indicate different things such varicose veins, nerve issues, muscle cramps due to increased oestrogen or a blood clot so best not to take any chances. I'm sure it's nothing but better to check it out without delay as you don't want to wait around with latter. X

thanks everyone I’ve woken up today and the leg pain has gone and bleeding eased up. Think I was worrying over nothing! Will mention it at my next appointment in a weeks time though. Thank you for all the advice and support glad to have found a place where I can discuss these things xx
