I have been to see my GP today after having had left pelvic pain for at least 7 months. It started as a constant niggle/mild ache and I thought nothing of it. The pain changed about a month ago to an intermittent throbbing/stabbing pain. It was then that I thought something might be amiss as the pain had not gone away and had got worse. It has not yet quite reached the point where I need to take painkillers.
GP doesn't think it is anything serious and thinks the location of pain is below where the ovary is. He said it was not a hernia and that stomach was soft and he could not feel any lumps etc. I am 58 years old and post menopausal, I have also suffered from extreme triedness/fatigue for the last year or so.
GP said he would refer me for a scan and suggested I get a blood test next week and book an appointment for a pelvic examination. (I have had to delay the scan for 3 months as I am working away).
The only other possible symptoms I have are increased urination and a change in bowel habits. I started a new job 6 months ago and put most of my symtoms down to that and stress.
I just wondered if there was anyone else on here that has experienced something similar? The GP didn't mention cancer, I guess he is just following guidleines with regard to tests etc. Should I be worried or does it all sound like nothing?
