Ovarian cyst and lower back and abdomen pain...
I was diagnosed with an Ovarian Cyst (1.5cm) about 6 months ago. The doctor put me on Birth Control in hopes to decrease the size of the cyst and to hopefully thin my uterus lining some because it was very thick. Over the past few months I have had much pain in my lower back and my monthly cramping has become very intesnse to the point that it is hard to function normally without some strong meds. The ovary was on my right side and I am due to go back for my second ultrasound the end of this month. I guess my question is with all this pain I am going thru should I be concerned....or is this normal. I do not have children and have never been pregnant and I have just turned 32. I am just confused...if I am not on the pill it is painful when I ovulate when I am on the pill my lower back and right side kill me. What do I do and what questions should I ask. The nurse told me that if I didnt go on the pill then they would not do another ultrasound.....WHY? She sugessted a DNC maybe in the future. Can someone please shed some light on this for me?
I'm 48 and have been having horrendous low back pain with some left ovarian pain as well. This has been going on for about 3 months now and seems to have come out of no where. In the beginning I went to my doctor and he suspected sacro ileitis thus placing me on a pretty heavy duty steroid pack. It gave me very little relief and for only a short time. I might also mention that I was taking an NSAID. Then about a month ago I passed a kidney stone and developed severe nephrolithiasis (kidney infection) left kidney and had to start a round of antibiotics. This kidney pain was completely different from the back pain and pelvic pain I have been unrelieved of all along. With the kidney infection now behind me, and the debilitating back/hip/pelvic pain, I went ahead with a pelvic MRI my doc had ordered for me to check out the SI question. My spine is perfectly healthy which was imaged however the Rad found a quickly growing left ovarian cyst. It went from 1.5 cm 8 days earlier to 3.9 cm. We followed this up the same day with an ultrasound and found the cyst to be simple and benign in appearance. I am now on birth control pills in an attempt to shrink the cyst. BTW I had a hysterectomy about 15 years ago due to fibroids and cervical issues which resulted from a LEETZ procedure that went bad. I made the decision to keep my ovaries then as many women do. We peeked the other day by ultrasound to see if it was shrinking after about week of B.C. pills. They couldn't see the cyst so they think it may have resolved. However, I beg to differ as I'm the one with NO relief from the pain. It wakes me up at night every time I try to roll from side to back, etc. It mainly hurts when I lay on my sides and laying on my tummy is out of the question. I get some relief when laying on my back. It is not colon issues as I had a scope about 7 months ago just prior to a pretty major hemorrhoidectomy. I don't know if it may have attached itself to a ligament on the abdominal/pelvic wall and that could be causing the excruciating pain when moving my torso from side to side. It hurts when sitting and shifting positions. It's worse first thing in the a.m. and in fact, I can hardly get out of bed because of the pain. After a short while of being up, it gets much easier to get around but I've honestly never had such pain as this. It's very bothersome and worrisome. I've wondered if adhesions could possibly be causing this also? Though from what I understand, that can only be detected by surgery. Any ideas? I don't usually post in forums like this but after reading so many other stories here, I can just really sympathize with everyone here experiencing this issue. Ladies, it is NOT in your head nor are you pain pill seekers. That is how they make you feel though. I've generally been pretty healthy and in fact I'm a fairly small person (5 ft and weigh a healthy 135) so it's not like it's hard to see everything with ultrasound. I hope the contraceptives work to shrink this darn thing! I can't get in to a gynecologist for another couple of weeks but believe me, I've considered going to the ER as this just isn't normal. I seldom EVER go there either - maybe 4 times in like 20 years. It seems to be more debilitating as the days go by. In the meantime, it's kind of nice to realize that others experience the same symptoms.
Good Lord, WTF is wrong with you? I see that you are so ignorant you didn't even read her entire post - she has 3 kids. Obviously she doesn't know how to spell as great as you do, and I highly doubt her spelling area are just to be "cool". If you're such a brainiac you'd have caught onto all of that, and you would also know a thing or two about cyber bullying. So, with that said, I am going to call you a heartless loser ***** that doesn't deserve to be alive because what goes around, comes around. I'd bet my next pay cheque (which is probably more than your idiot husband's), that you're just an insecure housewife with mental issues and nothing better to do than troll message boards as an internet tough-girl. So why don't you leave the ovarian cyst discussion and lay down some productive posts in a topic that will address your real issues like 'sociopaths, anonymous' or 'ignorant ******* that should be licensed to reproduce'. Ta ta now.
Perhaps she is from a different culture and may not know the language well, therefore your comment is really nasty and uncalled for. Although the spelling isn't good she still has a right to voice her own personal concern and earn the sympathy as everyone else has.

Wow! I really hope you are intentionally typing that way because you think its cool or whatever and its not because you cant spell or are not intellectual enough to spell the easiest words in the english language . For one if you cannot spell properly educate yourself! Especially if you want or are trying to have children! I am sorry but I read a post like yours and I have to laugh because you make yourself sound stupid. And I think its on purpose. I'm sorry sweetheart but whoever told you being intelligent wasn't cool lied to you! Men like intelligent women well REAL men do. I'm married to an amazing gorgeous sweet intelligent man. And you know what he respects me more because I have a brain and I'm not afraid to use it. If you keep going through life acting like you can't spell or speak right no-one willl have any sort of respect for you. So have some respect for yourself. I would be completely embarrassed if my children ever read something like that if I wrote a post like yours. In all honesty it just sounds immature,ghetto,uneducated. Honestly, get some self respect.
