Question

GRRRR. I am so tired of this dang cyst. I want it to twist so they take it out. The ob I saw today said cysts don't cause pain it probably something else. I asked what could it be? she told me all those stuff that could be possible but most likly not. Bowel stuff, appenditits, stomach, kidney. All I could be thinking is this is a bunch of BS. They keep delaying the thing that is going to happen, surgery. They don't want to do it because I am overweight and they said they most likly don't want to do laproscopic surgery but have a big incision. I said I don't care get this thing out. Either way I am going to be taking pain meds a while. *breathes* Why are doctors stupid???? At least the ones here at Kaiser here in Portland. thanks for the vent

ok i have to say something about the whole being in pain thing. i went to the dr today and told her today that i am in pain from my cyst and she told me it was all in my head i was not happy with that comment...and i don't really think you want it to twist because that will cause unbearable pain but i guess its a good way to get it out... but anyway i just wanted to say something about the pain and i know it hurts and i know if you say it hurts it hurts so forget what your doctors say get a second opinion....

 good luck

The doctor I went to today was the second opinion in Kaiser. Because of all this I could be asked to resign from my job. So exciting. NOT! I can't miss anymore work but I can't work because I am on prescipition drugs. oh well. I will get a new job, I didn't like it much anyway. But I need to take care of myself before I can  tackle the world. I've cried so much today. They are telling me this will go away next cycle... UH I DONT HAVE CYCLES. I am on the depo-prevea shot... Someone pray that this twists so they can take it out. That seems like the only way they will do surgery. I did a stupid thing today. I was telling a friend about what happened and I said, "Can anything get worse?" Yeah never do that because it always does. Thanks for the vent

Hi there.  I am a nubee to this forum, but for what it's worth, doctors are beyond frustrating.  I have met 5 over the past 4 days and have heard a little something different from every one of them. Some says my cyst is "suspicious for cancer".  Others say it looks like a dermoid.  Others say it feels soft with no nodules, yet a U/S shows a nodule.  I am frustrated too and I know what it feels like.  I respect doctors, but to a certain extent.  They don't all have the best bedside manor and I have been upset by many things that have been said to me that I am now switching my gyno doctor. 

Portland?  me to.  I'm in CT.  How about you?
