Swollen lymph node

[tjjd]

I don't know where I should start but I'm 32 and here are my problems: my right groin lymph node has been swollen for 7 months. It is hard and gets tender around ovulation time. I have bad gas, bloating, mostly constipation, some diareha, sometimes i see bright red blood in stool. I get a pain on me right side and back. sore discomfort down my legs. somtimes heavy feeling in my pelvic area. I have been getting up at night to pee. Memory loss, and very very tired all the time. I feel I need more than 8 hours of sleep a night. My doctor put me on laxapro. He thinks I'm depresed. I know I'm not.I couldn't be more happy with my family and life. But I have been taking them for the last 3 months and no changes. He says I'm too young to have anything else going on so should I change doctors? What does this sound like to you? Should this lymph node be tested? He told me to take 4 alive aday for the swelling/ inflamation (inflammation) of the lymph. I went to my gyno. The pap came back good. She thinks it has somting to do with my digestive track or somthing out of her field.

You should post this on the Ovarian forum, not because you do have cancer, but some of the symptoms are the same.  sounds like maybe you need a second opinion and a CT and some blood work.  come visit us there, those ladies will help you understand what is going on.

Hi reading your symptoms is very familiar to me. Because Im losing quite a bit of hair in my brush along with your symptoms, I was told i was also depressed. I have also put on 20 kios in 18months (which is a blow to my esteem)..But after returning yet another "bad" pap smear I was told withthe others it was nothing to worry about, Ive seen a speacialist and I have a lot of bad cells, a tillted uterus and a prolapsed womb..So far Im having day surgery for the cells soon and the other problems he will take on one by one finally I might feel good again..Should of went to a gyno or specialist first instead of a GP.
