Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
It could still be from the fibroids, if you were not treated for the ones you had earlier .
Have you undergone any treatment for the same ?
The other reason could be a neuropathy - mainly of the sciatic nerve.
There would not be other major reasons.
All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further.

The fibroids have not been operated on - they are monitored to be sure they do not grow so i should get them checked again. I also have IBS but havent had an attack in a while. Could it be that?

Pain from IBS generally does not travel down the leg.
Do you have any associated bowel issue ?
