So my GP is treating me for diverticulitis even though my ultrasound report it says possible? My pain is in my groin like where my lymph nodes are and also low left near hip but my nodes aren’t tender to touch did anyone else have similar with lymph nodes as show below in report? cause it’s giving me anxiety!

I also have been having left flank and lower back pain - anyone have similar?

REPORT

There is significant tenderness in the superficial inguinal region where irregularly shaped, otherwise uniformly, peripherally hypoechoic, and slightly hypervascular lymph nodes are identified in the superficial inguinal regions.

There is moderate tenderness in the left iliac fossa. Ultrasound evaluation demonstrates gas- containing, luminal curvilinear echogenicity, possibly due to mild sigmoid diverticulitis or inflammatory disease.

COMMENT

No evidence of left inguinal or left femoral hernia. Reactive lymph nodes in the superficial inguinal region. Possible sigmoid diverticulitis.

No other abnormality is seen.

Questions for others

1. Where do you feel your pain?

2. Did you get diagnosed by CT or US?

3. Any reactive lymph nodes?

4. Flank and lower back pain?

female - felt like my life side groin was more swollen and slightly tender but not sure if that’s cause I was poking at them - had an ultrasound done, which stated the below and I’m spiraling! The radiographer said it was ‘reactive’ but google tells me it’s cancer!!!

“irregularly shaped, otherwise uniformly, peripherally hypoechoic, slightly hypervascular lymph nodes”

The report didn’t state anything further than that like no further investigation?? Help?
