Swollen Groin and Painful Legs

Hi, 

I've had swelling at both sides of my groin for the last 2 weeks, and swollen hard glands behind my ears about the same time. I've also had a pretty sore tummy for maybe 6 weeks. 
 

ive been to the doctor and had a range of blood tests and chest xray, all clear. 
 

what are my next steps? I'm desperately worried, the groin swelling is really large at both sides and my legs ache right down to the calf. I feel like the doctors just fob you off and I'm not sure what questions to ask; what to request etc etc. 
 

any help much appreciated.

  • I'm glad to see that everything has come back clear so far but no doubt you're still wanting answers to what's causing your symptoms.

    Your doctor would be the best person to ask about what happens next but we have some general information about how to make the most of your doctor's appointment just here. I hope this helps but if you'd like to have a chat with someone about this then do give our cancer nurses a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope you're able to get some answers soon mumofboys123.

    Kind regards,
