here is the story:
Last week I got out of bed and had a horrible pain in lower right side so bad it took my breath away. It ended up subsiding to dull pain with sharp pinges every so often. I ended up going to an immed. care center who sent me to the er because of fear of appendicitis. I was admitted and the only thing abnormal was ovarian cysts. Well they released me because they said ovarian cysts shouldn't be causing me this much pain and there wasn't anything they could really do. Okay followed up with their clinic with normal pelvic exam. They told me to return imm. if it got worse or had any other symtoms along with it, esp. fever.
Sure enough Sat evening I was doubled over vomitting. I rested and awoke with vomitting, aches, chills, and that pain again. Fever started at 101. By the time I got to the hosp. it was 102.9 since I had to go to a diff. hosp. one that was closer to my home I knew I was in for it. They ended up admitting me.
After 2 nights and 3 days of more tests CTs, Ultrasounds, and xrays it was only the cysts that were showing up. They released me and made an appt. with my OB's covering doc. He did an ultrasound and said that my ovary was enlarged and it looks there was infection there. He said to see my OB when she returns and after my period (it is due the 29 any days now). He said that she would prob. do laproscopy to see what is going on. He made a comment that if I was his patient that is what he would do.
Anyway last few months have been more painful longer periods more crampy etc. I also had more migraines to then normal around my period. The last period which was strange it was very painful and I couldn't use tampons because it hurt. I got a strange pain in my belly button over to my right side like someone was tearing my belly button open. I took out the tampon and still had pain. It went away a few days later.I was going to talk to the Ob at the end of OCT (my yearly) obv. I will hopefully get an earlier appt now!!! Any suggestions or advice is GREATLY appreciated!

Goodness!
