Question about pain.

Hi.
I was at my doctor's office this morning and forgot to ask something. I mentioned that my side feels sore more often.  I told her it is sore when I walk far.  She said, the cyst may have grown a bit.  Or it is rubbing on something when I walk.  She asked when I made the appointment for the ultrasound and said we'll see then.  She said it is ok and normal to feel the pain.  Just if it is a very bad pain, to see her. Which it is not a bad pain. I called and asked on Monday if where is anything I should or shouldn't do. She said I have no restrictions. I can do everything I normally do... even bowling. My doctor said I must have had it for a while. Although, I'm just making sure I don't lift anything very heavy.  I'm not running or running up & down the stairs. Since it is more sore, should I limit more things? Wouldn't the doctor have said so though? I would think if she's concerned and didn't want me to do something, she would have said so, right? The cyst is a size of a tennis ball. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Would she have said not to do something if I shouldn't? I bowled last night with my league and it started to hurt.

Well she said "no restrictions" so go with that.  If you are in the middle of an activity and it seems to amp up the pain, then take it as a signal it is an activity that triggers pain for you.  Everyone is different regarding pain because cysts and their locations are different.
