I am 59, hysterectomy, ovaries stayed 20 yrs ago due to uncontrolled menstrual bleeding. About 3 weekends ago for 2 days, my stomach cramped and my lower back hurt, felt weakish and stayed in bed. Generally since then I have had more constant lower back discomfort (across hip area & tailbone) and did have a small tender spot when pressed only on right ab which has cleared up. It seems to bother me more when I ride around and when I sit, but that may just be about the time it starts hurting. I went to a GI dr in 2004 by colonoscopy, my colon was extremely inflamed, bloody and sore, which he originally thought was blood being shut off from the bowel. It cleared up. ? as to what it really was. Some of the discomfort now reminded me of the lower back pain, so I went to him again. He had an abdominal & pelvic ultrasound...pelvic: I had already had a small 3x5 mm hyperechoic area in rght ovary consistent with a small dermoid. Also a hypoechoic area also in the right ovary 1.0 x 0.9 cm. Since the last ultrasound 2/6/04, there was an interval development of a sonolucent area near the left ovary 1.8 x 0.9 x 1.8 cm. "This may be a simple cyst which is paraovarian in location or possibly a hydrosalpinx." Sonogram of ab-small simple cyst right kidney 1.78x1.22 cm. Should I drop this? My stomach still is not okay but not tender, lower back is most problem and energy level seems low. Cancer scares me.
