Question: I had pelvic surgery for uterine fibriods in February of this year. Shortly after, I realized my recovery wasn't going as well as I had hoped. I went back to the doctor who did the surgery and we discovered that she had accidentally left a fibriod that she didn't pick up in the ultrasound and that I also had adenomyosis from the surgery causing my uterus to enlarge to I think 17cm. I noticed a strange large lump on the back of my thigh with some surrounding edema that is better when compressed or after rest in April. I have had several doplar ultrasounds on both legs to rule out blood clots. Orthopedic doctors say it isn't a tumor or hematoma and they can't figure out what it is. Ultrasound tecs say the lump is visible but on any images they can't see anything significant. One doctor told me it wasn't a superficial thrombolitis or anything like that, that it would show up on ultrasound, but they did notice that I had some venous insufficiency in the left leg. Then recently I was moving something heavy and twited my other leg a bit, and notice a tiny similar lump in the other leg. Could I be injuring my legs but nothing is coming up on any advanced images, or do you think these lumps and swelling could be vasular related from the enlarged uterus or something else? I did have a pelvic MRI too and they did not tell me whether or not my leg veins were being compressed. What should I do? I also had a depo shot in May but it has been 3 months, and I don't plan to ever take that or any birthcontrol ever again due to side effects.

The lump on the left leg has been there since early April and there is significant hardness and swelling, but nothing showing on scans. It isn't healing.
