Swansea, UK

Today I been out and about, and while walking. My right thigh and groin had been in agony making me unable to walk fast without the struggle. It even made me dizzy and nausea ontop.

Not sure whether to ring gp again and let them know this is happening or ring gyno

I have been experiencing that as well. The pain feels wrong. Almost has me thinking I am tearing or ripping muscle or ligaments.

I received my diagnosis with an MRI of my pelvis. Maybe that could be a possibility prior or instead of an exploratory laparoscopy.

Is it normal to have sharp pulling pain in the inner thigh and groin area when walking with endometriosis?

Sharp, pulling pain in the inner thigh and groin area can occur with endometriosis, especially when endometrial tissue affects nerves or structures in the pelvic region. Pain that shoots down the legs is a symptom some people with endometriosis experience.

The combination of severe pain with dizziness and nausea is concerning and suggests your symptoms are significantly impacting you. This level of pain that prevents you from walking normally and causes additional symptoms like dizziness deserves medical attention. Given that this is a new or worsening symptom that's affecting your ability to function, it's worth contacting your healthcare provider. Your gynecologist would likely be the best choice since they're familiar with your endometriosis and can assess whether this pain pattern is related to your condition or if additional evaluation is needed.

Don't hesitate to reach out when pain becomes this severe or interferes with daily activities. Being your own advocate and communicating changes in your symptoms is important for managing endometriosis effectively.
