Menopause, but?

[Guest guest]

Hi-

I avoided having surgery at all costs and put up

with the heavy bleeding and pains and everything else

for three years. Now, I have finally reached menopause

and the bleeding has ceased. I thought I might be home

free, but now I have questions about vascular

problems. I am finding that I am experiencing an

increased pinching sensation in my lower pelvic area

when I walk, that then shoots down into my leg and

OUCH, I have to stop walking. It gets better then. But

I have read that pregnant women can experience this

type of thing, which ends once the baby comes out. But

I still have these fibroids and I wonder if any the

rest of you experience(d) this situation and what you

may have been told regarding it. My doctor just keeps

telling me to have surgery. I'd rather not.

Thank You
