Serious Pain

[livviesmom]

I was diagnosed with a ruptured ovarian cyst that caused me an infection and I also have another one filled with blood. This is extremely painful and causes me to be confined to my couch and I am having on and off again low grade fevers. I have been given percocet for the pain but it doesn't take it away, only subsides the pain. I have been like this for a month now and I don't know how much longer I go on like this. My lower back is killing me and so isn't my abdomen. I don't have an apendix so I know that  's not the case. Please Help me!!!

After a month of pain that is still there, it is a good idea to go back to your doctor. You might need either antibiotics or you might need a laparoscopy (bandaid surgery) to see what is causing your problem. It is time to go back and see what can be done to make you feel better.

I ended up in the emergency room yesterday and they sent me home with no antibiotics. I live in near boston, so i'm taking matters into my own hands and going to see a specialist at a hospital there. I'm very scared because this has gone on way too long and i have an 11 month old at home and i'm in the middle of planning my wedding. thanks for your input :)

That does not sound good. What does your doctor say?  Did they give you any antibiotics? I don't mean to scare you but my sister had a cyst that ruptured and she ended up in the hospital because the infection moved through her body causing pain everywhere.  If your doctor does not promptly treat this, maybe you should go to an emergency room.
