Dr. Braun, thank you for your response. I am however, a little confused. Are you saying that one fibroid usually does not cause pain? I'm experiencing an ache in my left side & the sharp pain begins whenever I walk or move around. After sitting or driving for long periods, my left hip also hurts. Thank you in advance for any helpful info you could provide me, until I hear from my Dr. >
