How is agonizing leg pain associated with an intrauterine device

We report on a typical clinical course of pelvic actinomycosis: initial uncharacteristic discomfort develops into a systemic illness associated with a pelvic mass which progresses so fast that along with the systemic infection further symptoms can be reduced to its growth rate--tiredness abdominal pain micturition deficiency and leg pain. Distinction between malignancy and pelvic actinomycosis could be made only intraoperative. After hysterectomy and with antibiotics the patient recovered quickly.
