Swollen Lymph nodes in leg/pelvic area
Does anyone else get swollen lymph nodes in the leg/pelvic area when the ovaries are giving you fits? My left one swells all the time it seems when my left ovary is hurting....just curious.
Thanks!

Re: Swollen Lymph nodes in leg/pelvic area
I had one swollen on the right side about 4 days after my hist. I had my dr look at it at the first post-op and he said it doesnt look bad. He guessed that it was probably in relation to the surgery and them working overtime to keep infection out of the local area. This was my idea as well since that is what the lymph nodes are supposed to do. Mine hurt to touch or bend my leg for about a week and since then it has gotten smaller over time. Not sure what anyone else's dr will say but that is what mine told me.

Re: Swollen Lymph nodes in leg/pelvic area
Mine is on the left side and also where the leg bends....my surgery isn't for 2 more weeks....just got me to worrying that it might be something a little more. I worry about everything anyways. I just assume that it's swollen because the ovary (left one more than the right one) is "sick" and the lymph node is fighting off some kind of infection. I guess I will know soon enough. I am sitting here thinking that I would be going to the Castle in the morning but tomorrow is my DS's 13th birthday and I decided that was more important. I am tired of waiting and worrying tho.....
