Hi, I found this whilst searching for information about my own symptoms. I've been suffering with bloating and lower left abdominal & back pain almost constantly since September now and my Doctor still hasn't gotten to the bottom of what's wrong. I'm 42 years old and have had a colonoscopy which had to be abandoned due to the level of pain it caused, and a barium enema which showed no abnormalities apart from one or two very small diverticula. Reading your story and speaking to my cousin who has been through a similar experience prompted me to ask my GP to refer me for Ultrasound. I'm hoping i'll finally get a diagnosis, I'm just convinced that the pain i'm experienced can't be caused by nothing.

I am post menopausal and bleeding off and on. I broke my wrist last march and had surgery. I cannot bear the thought of having an ovarian cyst and going through surgery again! The fear of surgery, the recovery, the MEDICALS BILLS afterwards!

I was just reading all about your story and your surgery, you really are full of helpfull information. I have a few questions if you wouldnt mind answering them. For the past few months I have had a strange feeling in my lower abdomen. It actually feels hard, I feel the need to pee alot but never actually pee a large amount. Its a constant pressure and i am so bloated, i can barely fit into anything. Also in the morning I can see this mass pushing out of my abdomen. I just got blood work done today and I am going to an ultra sound at 530.. I was wondering if you ever felt like this. ( I have history of ovarian cysts as well)

Thanks for the information, MarieMichele. My surgery was pushed to 12/09/10, so wish me luck! By the way, I see that your cyst was about the same size as mine are. Did you ask for your ovaries to be removed?
