Calling ladies!!!!

[Diddydriver]

Good morning ladies, I have woken up this morning with an awfull pain in my pubic bone plus a lot of swelling. I was wondering if this is R D or something else. Please can anyone give me some feed back I am struggling to walk with the pain.xx

I really think you need to be seen and X rayed or scanned. You have cartilage where the pubic bones come together, anything could have happened. Please see somebody, good luck x

I agree with Cagsie , it's not something I get with RA , any pain from say hips for me tends to go down groin side not the bone . 

Hope you get it checked X

Thanks I will see to it. Today is a sunny Sunday yet can't go out for the pain when walking. 9 years ago I had cancer of the vulva and had it all taken away along with both lymph nodes in the groin, so now I am getting worried that it has come back. But hey ho the sun is beating down enjoy everyone.x

More likely with spondyloarthritis I would think, as it can be a type of enthesitis (inflammation of the cartilage that joins those bits of pubic bone).  I get it, as well as all sorts of other pains around the edges of my pelvis and sacroiliac area, but then I have ankylosing spondylitis with a lot of enthesitis.

Thankyou for your reply E. W . I was diagnosed with spondylitis in my coxix many years ago. I never thought it could be connected to that, you mentioned enthenitis, I don't know what this is, is it connected with R D or something else??? Also I know that people on here struggle with losing weight and I do feel for them but I am losing weight, my consultant told me off last time I saw him as I am only 43k ( about 6st 10 ) I think. I do eat well but I don't snack could this be because of taking MTX in tablet form, I am now on MTX injection so I am hoping this will help. What do you think???
