I'm new to this forum and have already gained a wealth of knowledge regarding my situation. I'm 57 years old and had a hysterectomy 30 years ago, but still have my ovaries. In the last few months I've experienced cramp-like symptoms in my right ovary that extends across my pelvic area. In the beginning I thought it was just typical cramping but it has slowly increased in severity and even seems to feel hot, or burning (if that makes sense). In the last month I've also developed pain in my right hip that seems to be in the muscle. When I do stretches it feels just like a pulled muscle, but then does not go away. It isn't an uncomfortable pain as I'm up and about, but more intense as I'm sitting or in bed.
I lost my mother in August of this year after being diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in July so I'm wondering if I'm just being ultra sensitive or if there's reason for alarm.
I'd like to ask anyone who has any medical knowledge or has gone through similar issues, their thoughts.
Thank you so much for your input, I really appreciate it!
