Anyone have a painful cyst ????

Hi,

I'm new here. I've been getting the runaround for the past three mos from different docs. I went in with left sided pain, which wraps around to my back. First saw my OB--got an US and they found a small cyst on my left ovary but said it "was too small to cause any pain". Referred me to my general doc. She did a CT of my abdomen, a chest CT, and everything came back fine, except for the cyst showing up. She then refers me to my GI doc. She does a colonoscopy. Finds colitis, which I had since I was 18. Still says it can't be causing me this much pain. The other nite I took a Vicodin, a muscle relaxant and something for gas, and still had pain for four hours. This pain is not going away. So now what, do I go back to my OB and tell them that I still have pain and everything else has been ruled out.

This is insane. Noone can give me any answers.

Anyone else go through this???

In pain and very frustrated,

Amy

Sweety,

I can not give you advise but I do sympathise because I myself have been going through pain with my ovaries and now this thursday coming I am suggesting to my doctor (as per the advise of my soon to be mother in law) Endormetriotris.

This is an on going problem I find. It drains you emotionally as phsysically. I went to the emerg. last week due to the amount of pain I was in and all I got was a push on the stomache and them saying it is menstration pain.

Dig farther come on sites like this and take the advise and go to the doctors with suggestions.

My heart is with you and hope the best for you...

Keep smiling and something will come about. We know our bodies as much as sometimes they make us seem like we are just complaining.

Cheers

Hi.

I have been going through something symilar myself. I have a pain on my right side, and it also hurts in my back sometimes. It has been going on now for over 2 months, I ve been to 4 doctors, but nothing is solwing my pain and my problem They said that one of my cyst has ruptured, but the pain shouldnt take this long. Also, my stomach blows up and down like a ballon all over the place - well mainly around my bellybutton and lower right side.

God, so many of us have this problems, how come no one can help us?

I aslo heard that if it is a cyst problem - and if it ruptures or leaks the fluid, it can hurt, and all you can do is just wait for the pain to go away.

( by the way, I also had my CT and US done, - came back perfect!)

So what is all the pain??

I feel bad about your pain, I know how it feels. I am going to see another doctor, hopefully he will help. I guess maybe you should also go, and be persistant, and hope that someone will take their time to help you!

Good luck,

Sonja
