Where do I even begin... Honestly I can't remember how long I've been having lower (kidney area) back pain I just kinda grinned and bared it all. Then came the low fever and sudden pelvic pain. I made an appointment with my GP and had a pap smear done and an urinalyses. After talking with her she sent me to my local hospital for blood work and an ultrasound.  Ultrasound reviled cysts on my right ovary and a potential tumor on my left.  So I made an appointment with a gyn. All of this was back in early September. At the gyn I've had at least 3 more ultrasounds within three months. Feeling like I wasn't getting anywhere with this gyn frustrated me esp when he says I don't know if this is a new and bigger cysts or the old cysts has gotten bigger. And as far as the possible tumor, while I was getting the last ultrasound done the radiologist was describing everything to me as she found it, however the gyn tells me that my left side is clearing up when I damn well know from seeing it myself that it wasn't the case.
Now it's January and throughout this time my fever has become constant as well as pelvic pain, back pain, abdominal pain, and pain in both thighs.
Today I went in and scheduled to have laparoscopic surgery. Pre-op on the 28th of this month and surgery on the 3rd of February.
Finally I feel like something is going in the right direction!
And then he opened his mouth... Saying how fever isn't related to female anatomy nor is back pain or thigh pain! Seriously...!!??!!
I'm just hoping for the best .. Hoping the cysts and tumor can be removed without any complications and that nothing points to cancer.
Also I'd like to thank everyone who has posted on this site. I've been reading all the post over the months and it's truly helped me.

Just an update.. I've noticed that now both groin lymph nodes as well as the lymph nodes in my neck are all swollen and I've been experiencing a almost constant burning pain on both sides of my pelvic bone. My hips and upper thighs also have a burning sensation.  I'm still having sharp pains in my pelvic area as well as lower abdominal pains. Today I've become very nauseated and complete loss of appetite as well as having to urinate quite frequently.
I'm just ready for this to all be over with!

Thank you ladies I really appreciate y'all taking the time to respond to my post. On my last visit ( which was this past Monday 1-13) my dr took some cultures. The results came back negative for infection.
Just a lil bit more background.. I'm 33 years old will be 34 within a few months. The suspected tumor was first thought to be a complex cysts showing some solidity. I was told that most cysts will go away and heal in their own however my symptoms never declined they've only gotten more intense as well as more frequent until it's become an everyday all day occurrence. Also I am naturally a very petite woman whom now looks pregnate.
It's also gotten to where any slight amount of pressure applied to the left inner wall  results in significant pain.

Hello,
Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can form in the ovaries. They are common in child bearing age.  Mostly they are symptomless But Ovarian cysts can, however, cause problems if they twist, bleed, or rupture. Most ovarian cysts will go away on their own.

One of the most effective treatments for ovarian cysts is use of contraceptive pills or progesterone pills. It can also be treated surgically and this procedure is known as drilling. Other modes of treatment are laparoscopic surgery, laparotomy or surgery for complicated ovarian cysts.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

HI,
Pelvic pain can be due to ovarian cysts. They can also cause back pain if they are placed posterior to the uterus. Other causes can be pelvic infection which can also be the reason for fever and endometriosis which can cause severe pelvic pain. All these things can be clearly seen during laparoscopy and also the ovarian cysts can be removed successfully.
