No my doctor did not tell me how big my uterus is, but they did say that there are no masses detected, so I am assuming (dumb I know) that there are no fibroids. The hip pain I have stems from a pinched nerve I developed during my second pregnancy and it flares up every month, but goes away after my cycle is over. Can fibroids cause this also? > At Mon, 30 Oct 2000, Tina wrote:
