Well it happened again. I woke up the
other morning and couldn't get out of bed,
every movement felt like a knife moving
around. I had to get my son to "bring
mommie the phone" so I could call my
sister for help. I decided to just take
the same heavy duty pain drugs doc gave me
last time I went into emergency for the
exact same thing. Of course my sister
looked after my little son for I was
knocked out for the rest of the day.
I'm frustrated that this keeps happening
and it's just being called a might be
simple ovarian cyst. Tommorow i'll go see
the doc... Again... Let him know what's
happened, and hope my ultrasound results
will finally show that this is not just in
my head.
I probly should have went into emergencie
immedietly, (i'm still hurting but it's
eased up a great deal) but I was left
feeling like a big baby the last time (2
months ago) like I was waisting time, when
all I "needed" was a few "drugs" to kill
the pain,
i'm venting and frustrated... Anyone else
feeling like this???????????
And could this be more than just an
"ovarian cyst"?

If the ultrasound does not show anything,
and all other tests do not show anything,
ask your doctor about endometriosis(sp?).
It can cause pain like that. Also,
cysts hurt, but not normally that severely
unless it bursts, which it could have. I
think mine burst a couple of months ago(it
is the only thing I could think of that
may have happened) and I honestly thought
I was going to die. But the next day, it
still hurt, but not nearly as bad. Good
thing I was drinking when it happened or
it would have hurt that much worse.Lol.
But seriously, talk to your doctor about
the above disease. A lot of women have
it and it causes all kinds of different
mild or severe pain. You can also look
it up on the internet to find information
about it on your own. I hope you two
feel better.

Some people are prone to cysts for no
reason. It stinks. But, you could ask
your doc if you have endometriosis (sp?)
but, if you have already had surgery I
would think he would have seen that
already. But who knows. Yes, I thought
cysts had to be attached to something, but
I don't know. Maybe they are just
attached to the area where your ovary used
to be? I dunno. I hope you feel better
though. Let us know how your surgery
went.
P.S. What did it feel like when your cyst
burst? Or began to anyway? I had one
on my right ovary (may still) and I think
it burst once, but no one seems to know
what the signs of that are. Do you know?

Do you know if its an ovarian cyst?
Because if the pain is in the lower
abdomen. I had the same problem several
years ago and went to the emergency room a
couple of times and I had an ultrasound,
they couldnt find anything. So finally
when I went to the emergency room I had a
cat scan and I know this is going to sound
kinda funny but its really not, I was full
of poop. I was completely full,
constipated. Its a really serious
problem, I have to have tons of fiber and
it still doesnt always help. But thats
exactly how it feels, like someone
stabbing you and twisting the knife. But
if your taking painkillers and their
actually taking the pain away, I dont know
if it would be the same problem, because
they gave me morphine in the hospital and
it didnt take the pain away.
I just thought I would share that because
thats exactly how I felt when I had my
"problem" I like to call it, but good luck
and I hope you find out what it is.
