Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have experienced a dull ache / pain in my lower right pelvic area for approx. 2 months. In the last month it has added a sharp pain in my pelvic area, shooting down my leg and into my buttock / up my back. I have taken up to 800 mg of ibuprofen and the pain does not subside. My menstrual cycle has been 28 - 29 days apart for many many years, and in the last 3-4 months it has changed to 14-21 days apart. I am 41 years old.
