Mom has weird pain

My mom is 47 and on premarin because she had a full hysterectomy a long time ago. Lately, she has been getting two really sharp pains at the same time. One of them is close to where her leg turns into her labia and the other one is on the inside of the middle of her calf. It doesn't last very long and it really seems to catch her off guard. Anyone have any idea what this could be? It seems like one of those things a doc can't really examine because it doesn't show.

I just looked up that drug your mom is on and it pulled up a web page that it may be a defective drug. People are suing a company because it cased them problems. I searched for it on MSN and found it.

My question is why can't the doc check this pain. He can ask a lot of questions like what type of pain is it ie: dull, sharp, pinching, stabbing etc. He can also have her show him the exact location of the pains and tell him if she notices it at any particular time such as when climbing stairs or bending to pick something off the floor etc. If she hasn't already seen the doc then this is where she needs to start.

Thanks for the replies. I looked at that lawsuit and now I remember the controversy. It's about a problem that arises when women take a combined HRT. In that case it is premarin/provera. She is also on Detrol. I'm going to try to find her inserts for her pills and see if this combination of pain is listed on either insert.

I'm sure she could see a doctor, but it always helps to have an idea and questions. Right now, the only symptom is sharp pain in the groin and pain in the calf. And, she sees her gyn when she has to for a mammogram and for more pills, but she has never even met her primary doc. She sends us all the time. If someone thinks this could be serious - it stops her in her tracks so it must be - I might be able to convince her to go. I have noticed the pain when she was standing and when we were riding in the car. There aren't many stairs around here...
