Mindy,

the EXACT same thing has been happening to me! when i go to my ob, he's not concerned either, but i've never been to see him when i have a flare up. i've heard it's best to go when there is something there....

the fact that you've had them for several years (like i have) probably means it's nothing too terrible. some women are very sensitive to hormone fluctuations, and it manifests itself in that exact location. still, it is important to have them assessed when present.

i know i'm not being too helpful, but i thought you might like to know there are others out there with something similar.

best, Sarah
