Is the pain in your groin?

How long have you had it for?

Is it worse when you walk?

I need to ask a few more questions.

Is the pain constant or intermittent?
Anything you do aggrivate it ?
Is it disturbing your sleep?
Any bowel symptoms?
Did you have your ovaries removed when you had your hysterectomy?

You mention you have arthritis. Have you any new bone or joint pains?

Intermittant, but that may be because of the tylenol I take for osteoarthritus.

No, not that I am aware of.

No its actually better when I lie down and stretch out. Its not really interferring in my everyday life right now. I notice it more when I am sitting around watching tv or reading.

Having a good bowel movement relieves it a little.

yes, i have no ovaries.

Apetite good and I am a little overweight for my hight.

Hi

A lot of your answers are very reassuring.

However if you were my patient I'd want to do a thorough physical exam and some bloodwork in view of the fact you have had symptoms for 2 months.

There are several different diagnoses that are possible.

1. bowel problem
2. pain radiating from back
3.adhesions from previous surgery

are the most likely.

Colon aka large bowel.

It's a possibility, no doubt about it.
