my 16 yr old daughter has had lumps in her right leg for the past 4 -5 weeks. it is also very painful to walk. originally there were 4 lumps below the knee that were hot and bruised. she was given an antibiotic but it did nothing. a few days later she was treated with a shot and prescription of antibiotics for bacterial vaginosis… she had left a tampon in for over two weeks. that was 12 days ago, she told me last night that she now has 9 lumps in her leg and a few are above the knee. she is still very swollen from the vaginosis and she has developed a yeast infection! she does not live with me right now and is being treated by the state but im very concerned she is not getting proper medical attention. they told me that they had blood work done (not sure what kind of blood work) when she was treated for the bacterial infection and it all came back normal. im not sure where to post this question so i am also putting under other catagories…

So frustrated now!! my problem is so embarrassing and has me worried about it becoming something more serious like PID or infertility. I am 20 years old. Up until I was 18, I would describe my vagina as being healthy…I lost my virginity at least a year be4 I started experiencing anything odd…It seems to have all started with a yeast infection…I had this when I was still with my one sex partner (the first)…I diagnosed it myself really. Itchy…cottage cheese discharge…I had never been to the gyno..and the thought of that really scared me…so I tried to treat it by myself. I used the old yogurt remedy? …and it seems to have worked…or helped a little….after about two months, though my bf and I broke up…and within a month I was sexually active with my new boyfriend..horrible, maybe…but I want to spill the whole sexual history…within the month without any sexual activity is when I developed what I have now..if I remember correctly..and since then…throughout my whole relationship with my new boyfriend..I had these symptoms: Horrible vaginal odor…awful…You can smell it through my jeans…Not a fishy odor…but almost like feces…or what an infection may smell like…discolores at times….but there was no itchiness….or cottage cheese looking discharge…so I ruled out the yeast infection…and after looking some things up on the internet…told myself it was a bacterial infection…Still, tho, I have not went to the gyno…My new bf and I stayed tagether for a little over a yr..Him, being my only other sexual partner…but I must admitt, it put a big damper on the sex life….SO EMBARRASSING!….So, now, this problem is nearly 2 years old…for a while, almost religiously every day…or every other….i would douche right b4 sex…or even b4 i went to work…bc when i seem to move around more…the more discharge(smelly)..i release…SO….after thw two a-holes…I met my wonderful bf now! he’s wonderful, btw! and still I hav these sympstoms…I decide to finally go to the gyno…weeks b4 my visit i read on the internet that douching with a vinegar/water solution would help disguise the smell, some….so i had been doing that…everyday…or twice a day…horrible decision, im thinking…seemd to help a little for a while tho. a day be4 i went to c the gyno…i had dome so, and the odor wasnt as foul..i mean…you dont want to gape open ur legs..when that is present…especially seeing as though i was so self concious about going in the first place…anyway…got my normal pap…i described the odor to her…tried to emphasize and tried to explain to her it was more than just being sweaty…or a natural odor…it was more. SOmething was wrong…Well, she took the swab, left, came back…told me my PH was fine..and everything seemd to be normal…she said she didnt smell anything…and she would be sending a slide to the lab…THATS IT? I JUST KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG…give me an idea or something…but nothing…SO…lab came back…And it said abnormal cells…Precancerous cells on my cervix…which, i dont know that that is too relevant to the ? at hand…I plan on getting the frozen off…and am not so worried about that…B/c at least I know what they are..and they can be taken care of…but, could that have anything to do with the problem that I am having now? I dont see where it could…but damn…I keep coming to dead ends…so any advice would be helpful….She put me on UTI antibiotics for a week…and also BV antibiotis for a week after my first vistit…and I called and complained that the odor was still there….I took the medicine…and it seemd to have helped…I think. But guiltily, I still used the vinegar/water soltion occasionally…from habit maybe…just being self concious…and having to have dealt with that for so long…I didnt want to chance having this embarrass my in an intimate moment, again…u know? SO….after a month and a half…here we go again…SAME ODOR..and discharge..every day..every second of the day…ITS HORRIBLE…and just want to be normal again! Im afaraid I let it go to long? Some other things Ive noticed…just so I can be sure Ive explained it all…I get REALLY WET…abnormally…during sex…a slight pain…sometimes in my lower abdomen…have seen a tissuey substance in the discharge…and a slight pain inside…sometimes…when I have "more passionate" sex….ummm…thats about it……SO COULD SOMEONE PLEASE…if you’ve had the same thing..or just have any advice on what the H*** could be going on…
