Have any one you had the exact same symptoms as this and it found to be innocuous??

A mum-of-four who was told her muscular pain was likely to be early menopause has tragically died of terminal cancer aged 27.

She added: "I went to my GP with back, shoulder, rib and neck pain, which radiated throughout my body, and the GP put it down to muscular skeletal pain due to me going through the menopause because of the previous treatment I had.

"I was sent home with pain relief and told to come back if it didn't work.

"I started to also have unbearable stomach pain and went to the hospital as they thought I had a twisted ovary, but when they discovered it wasn't that, I was sent home with more painkillers.

"I had to get paramedics to come to my home as the pain in my shoulder, neck, and ribs got worse - they also said the same thing, muscular skeletal pain, and told me to ring the GP for more pain relief, which also didn't work.

I have all of the above symptoms and am repeatedly sent home as my bloods are fine. I too have had a twisted ovary ruled out. Could they be massively missing something?

The woman in the article had already been diagnosed and treated for cervical cancer. Unfortunately, she was one of the small number of women where the cancer spreads to other parts of the body. There may be many reasons why follow up checks were unable to pick up secondaries, having four pregnancies by age 27 being one of them.
If you are worried check out cervical cancer symptoms and see your GP for screening.

Didn’t want to read and run, OP, sending you 💐.
Do persist with the GP, I had an unexplained problem which took 18 months before they resolved it, but they did in the end.
Googling my symptoms in exasperation provided the clue for successful diagnosis in my case...

I'm not sure but my dh aunt had been going to the gp repeatedly for 2 years for a sore mouth and legions on the inside of her cheek. Kept being sent away. Turns out she has mouth cancer
If you're worried ask for a second opinion.

Obviously it might not be the same but dd has horrendous back pain and other parts of her body hurts as well

She also has had stomach pain which necessitated a visit to A&E recently and is very painful a lot of the time

Her bloods are normal and appendicitis and twisted ovary etc were ruled out but she has just been diagnosed with endometriosis which they have said explains the back pain

The chest pain and muscle pain have been put down to ME

Trouble is a lot of symptoms can be put down to all sorts of ‘illness’

Ooo forgot

Deffo go back to the doctor if you are worried...worrying doesn’t help either 💐

Keep pushing and escalating - do not be brushed off. Women (and even more so women of colour) are not given the same space and consideration in medical settings, so you have to keep insisting on it. I hope it is nothing serious, and wish you the best for a speedy recovery.

It could be something or nothing. I was watching a documentary about a British ICU unit (pre Covid) the other day and one of the doctors admitted that a fair bit of the time they never work out exactly what’s wrong with patients even when they’re sick enough to be in the ICU.

A few years ago I had terrible abdominal pain and went to the GP a couple of times. He decided it was ‘probably some kind of virus’! Think I played down the pain a bit too much to be fair. It was bad enough that I’m pretty sure most sensible people would have gone to A and E. I couldn’t stand up straight and even being in bed hurt. The only thing that helped was a hot shower or pacing around the house. So obviously I decided to hope it went away. Luckily it did, never to return again. Very strange. My Dr Google diagnosis was either a burst ovarian cyst or kidney stones.

I collapsed once at home and once in the street (had two ladies asking me if i was ok when i was lying on the pavement...i was terribly british and said ‘fine thank you’)

And no one knew what it was but a nursing relative said she thought it was ovarian cysts bursting (do have pcos, scans previous showed masses of cysts and scan after didnt AND got pregnant with dd immediately after)

I had this once, very severe pain and then it went away. It was ovarian torsion, the pain stopped because the cyst that was twisting the Fallopian tube basically killed my ovary. Just keep an eye on that in case it's the same thing.
