Hi everyone, please help me!!
Im searching for some answers as quite frankly I feel like I’m not getting anywhere with my gp
about 4 months ago I started getting pain in my groin, the pain would usually come when I’d been for a walk and would go after resting, I just thought I had pulled a muscle or something and ignored it. Until about 3 weeks ago when the pain came and didn’t go, I saw my dr who examined me and found a lump in L groin which was very tender, she sent me for an ultrasound which revealed an enlarged lymph node. Within the same week I began getting pain in my R groin and could also feel a lump, and also felt a lump which I can move in my lower back/ buttock. The dr thinks the lump in my back could be a lipoma, and has reluctantly sent me for another ultrasound.
My bloods are fine apart from I have folate deficency.
Naturally I feel quite worried, and my gp keeps saying she wants to refer me but she doesn’t know where to refer me??? It seems like she doesn’t really know what to do with these findings. Im uncomfortable and unfortunately there’s a bit more to the story …
4 years ago, I was 18, always a very active sporty child, and had a good mum that made sure I ate well etc. One day I woke up with tingling in my toes and had what i can only describe as ‘nerve pains’ in my legs. The tingling in my toes went but I have continued to have pains in my legs and also now my shoulders/ arms sparadically. The pains are completely random but often feel like burning. When this all started I feel like they didn’t take me seriously and diagnosed me with ME which I believe was because my mum has it. Im a paramedic myself and don’t feel like I have ME. They noticed at the time I had a folate and b12 deficency and I had b12 injections and then story over, they never investigated. And my bloods were only tested again recently due to new problems and as I said they discovered low folate again and have put me on tablets. I was 18 and I’m now 22, why am I having these deficencies, could it be linked to the enlarged lymph nodes??
Im considering going private as I’m desperate for some answers but I don’t really have the money.
Please can anyone out there share some information,
