I need help.. ASAP

the past week, i have been having the worst pain in the world in my lower right side of my stomach.. I have gone to the doctors twice and to the ER twice. I got a ct scan done and an ultra sound. I was told that i have many ovarian cyst but not to worry those will go away and that my appendix in about 7cm long.. now, i have been having the worst pains where my appendix is and it spreads at times but everytime we went to the doctor or ER they told me that nothing is wrong with me except for the appendix being on the large side and that i have no infection at all and my blood work is perfect! but nobody so far has an answer for the pain on my appendix and it hurts really really bad like something is pushing everything together and then at times like everything is being pulled apart and still have not gotton a fever.. does anybody know of similar cases, or does anybody know what it is? please help and answer ASAP...

The length of your appendix is irrelevant. There is considerable variation between patients. Some are two or three centimeters while others are twenty. Are you sure they weren't referring to a 7mm diameter rather than the 7 cm length that you stated. 7cm is about the average length.

You keep referring to appendiceal pain when you have been shown to have multiple ovarian cysts. In most patients, the right ovary is smacked up against the appendix. Have you seen your gynecologist? Sounds like it might come to a laparoscopy to manage.

Hello, i am going to see a gynecologyst and gastroenterologist soon, but wouldnt they have seen my ovaries being pushed up against my appendix through the ct scan or ultrasound?? Is that what could be causing my pain?? Also, on 9-11 at about 2 in the morning i went to the ER my pain was so bad and they gave me morphine and it was my first time recieving morphine and im only 16.. but on 9-11 after i woke up many hours after coming home i was throwing up and had diharea and 9-12 i only had it a little but its just kinda hard for me to poop now.. is that normal? Or is it a sign from the pain that something happened?

Or a consequence of the narcotic which causes constipation...........

I didn't say that your ovary was "being pushed up against your appendix", i said that the right ovary's normal position is in close proximity to the appendix and you have already said that abnormalities of the ovary were seen.

Sorry, i didnt mean to say thats what you said, but my right ovary being in close proximity to my appendix even with the ovarian cyst, could that be whats causing the pain? could that be the reason i have not gotton appendicitis yet? and wouldnt they see in the ct scan and ultra sound that my right ovary is in close proximity of my appendix and wouldve said something? or only my gynecologist can see that? im just very curious and worried, sorry for all these questions.

also, i weigh around 120 and am 5"7'.. is 7 cm large my appendix large for my height and weight? cause that's what i was told which is why i was asking earlier..

Please re-read previous post. A 7cm long appendix would be pretty typical but again, the length does not matter. A 7 millimeter diameter appendix would be slightly enlarged. I have never seen a radiologist comment on the length of an appendix. Are you sure they said 7 centimeters in length and not 7 millimeters in diameter?  The appendix is NORMALLY in close proximity to the right ovary.
