Pain originating from pelvic area radiating to thighs and legs

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello,

my wife has been suffering from pelvic pain that radiates to the thighs and legs, along with general fatigue and a low grade fever.

Before having these pains, she had an fever that started with a flue. The flue symptoms went away after a week and then she just had fever without any other symptom for about 2 weeks more. Doctors said that it is just post flue fatigue and recommended painkillers. The doctor performed a couple of C-reactive protein tests ( one week apart) and the values came out as less than 10. So the doctor ruled out any bacterial infection. But the fever is still not going away and about 3 days ago, she really started to have this pain in her groin, lower abdomen, pelvic area that travels to the legs. We suspected a uti, but she has no other symptom of a uti, except for frequent urination (she always had a overactive bladder, but now she says it may be just slightly more active).

But her fever is still not going away and the pelvic/leg pain is getting worse. We don't know what it could be. I am specially concerned about the pelvic pain. Could it be something serious?

    the pain needs investigating as it could be related to the reproductive organs ovaries..womb cervix especially if its radiating down the legs etc also she needs to have a test to see if she has a uti to rule out any bladder or kidmey infections etc

    I agree with previous poster! I would see an OBGYN stat! Cervical and ovarian cancer can cause this type of pain. So, better to get checked out by the right doctor who specializes in reproductive health and with her fever and level of pain, I'd get an appointment asap.
