What Causes Lump On Hip And Swollen Lymph Nodes In Groin?

I have ahard lump on my right side in between my right hip bone and rib cage. It hurts to lay on my right side. Soon after finding the lump, I started experiencing lower pelvic pain and bloating. I put on 7 pounds in a few days. I have lower back pain, and pain in shoulder pain. I have to urinate every half hour. I drink a lot of water, but I have to pee more frequently now. My lymph nodes in my groin have been swollen and I have pain radiating down my right leg to knee. I have been to the doctor and had a CT scan and Transvaginal ultra sound, all they found was two cysts on right ovary about 2.5cm and 4cm on left side, and a hemagimia on liver. Heat on abdominal seems to help, only while applied, any sort of pain pill makes it worse. Please help!

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A history of frequent urination along with lower back pain suggests a possibility urinary tract infection.
I would suggest you to get a urine examination -routine and microscopic examination.
If urinary tract infection is present, urine microscopy will show up.
Enlarged lymph nodes in the groin can be due to urinary tract infection, sexually transmitted diseases or infection or inflammation in the lower limb.
An aspiration cytology of the lesion is suggested.
In this investigation, the cells are aspirated from the lymph node.
This investigation will determine the type of lesion in the lymph node.
A lump between hip bone and rib cage can be due to some organ enlargement, soft tissue lesion or bony lesion.
An ultrasound of the abdomen should be performed to look for the site and origin of the lesion.

I would consult you to consult your primary healthcare provider.

Thanks and take care
