Sharp pains

[twomojitos.livejournal.com]

Hi all!

For the past couple of years, I've been getting sharp, stabbing pains in what feels like the area of my cervix. I ALWAYS forget to tell my doctor about them. Next time I go I swear I will remember but for now I figured I would ask if anyone had any ideas of why this happens and if I should worry. The pains happen at random times (not always after sex, before my period, after my period, etc....) and is very sharp and quick. If I am walking then I have to stop because it hurts so bad and then it just goes away and I feel fine. It's not a constant thing, it only happens once in awhile. Anyone else have experience with this? Thanks!

P.S. I do have HPV if this makes a difference...it's a very small amount and is always "stable" when I have my check-ups. I never remember to ask my doctor about this because it never seems to happen whenever I have an upcoming appt haha

Because I don't know what might cause those, I hope that you might give an update if you find out! Good luck!

Just a tip for medical appointments:

I have the kind of health that means doctors' appointment usually cover many things and I find it helpful to make a list of all my questions and concerns before going. I then look over it in the waiting room so everything is fresh in my mind but you can also refer to it during the consultation.

I find that having a list in hand also helps make the doctor more aware that you've still got things to go over. Sometimes even if I begin by saying "there are a few things I want to talk about today", they'll be ready to end the appointment after the first issue; but actually holding a list (or showing it to them) helps prevent that.
