Ovarian Cyst and Leg Pain

[TeenaMarie]

I am 46 years old and was diagnosed with a complex ovarian cyst on my right ovary and was told to have another ultra sound done in 6 weeks.  The second ultrasound showed that the complex cyst was smaller than on the previous ultra sound therefore nothing else needs to be done.  Since then I have begun having sharp pains in the groin area that raidiate down my right leg along with some rectal pain.  This happens several times a day.  Could this be from the complex cyst and can a cyst shrink and then grow again? I am just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for all of the input!  At least I now feel pretty confident that the pain in my leg is from the complex cyst that I have.  Wishing you all the best of luck!

Thanks for the comments.  I had been taking vicoprofen for a neck disc compression, but that really doesn't help this pain much at all.  I'm supposed to have fusion surgery at the end of January for that, but not too hip on jumping into any surgery.  In the case of all the hot/cold packs, aroma candles, etc., I hardly have time to go to the bathroom during the day, much less take care of myself.  I have 3 girls - 15, 10, and 20 months and a husband, a household to run, and work part time at home for 3 different companies.  I don't think massage or proper time for myself is in the cards right now.  That's what sucks about it.  Funny how my husband threw out his shoulder a couple weeks ago, and, wow, couldn't do anything, including picking up the baby.  We woman have to just suck it up and find something to quickly ease the pain (take a pill, basically) and get on with the day!  So, I'll be lucky to even get to another Dr. in the near future.  Has taken me a year to even get to the neurologist and then the testing to figure out what was wrong with my neck.  I laughed in his face when he told me "no lifting after neck surgery for 2 weeks, and expect about a 3 - 9 month recovery!  I might as well leave the country because neither is going to happen.  Will wait til the kids are gone and just keep taking that quick fix for now.  What else is a woman to do?!

You need to find the balance in your life! Usually woman work 3-4-5 jobs, with 4-6-8 arms around herself! Try to satisfy husband, home,  kids, friends, work etc...I know it isn't easy with kids, but you have husband, ASK HIM TO HELP YOU 1-2 hours a day! I know, isn't perfect what they do, but something... Don't kill yourself! You have future and be little bit selfish for 2007! Sue

Waiting for the kids to be gone might be too late for you. They want their mother to be around a long time. Ask hubby the question  "What would you do if I am not here"?
Don't be so proud that you can't ask for help from family, friends, church. There are people everywhere that like to help a neighbor. I know because I have helped and been helped many times. Get yourself taken care of soon.
