large cystic mass in pelvis

Hi, After two ultrasounds, one including transvaginal approach, the radiologist is still not sure whether a large cystic mass measuring 8.1 x 6.1 x 6.7 cm in the midline just superior to the urinary bladder is ovarian in nature.  They suggest a CT scan of abdomen and pelvis.  I am waiting for a referral to a gynecologist which will no doubt take months.  Meanwhile I am in a lot of pain and sometimes it is so bad I double over and involuntarily moan or cry out.  The walk-in doc suggests that I go to emergency next time I am in that much pain and they will likely remove it.  She says no pain medication will help.  I don't know what to do, I'm at the end of my rope.  Help, please.

Thanks for your post.  I'm in Ontario, Canada and it takes months to get in to see a specialist in this area.  I will take your advice and go to the ER next time I get a severe pain attack.  Thanks for your help.

If you are in so much pain, go to the ER.  Why does it take so long to get to a Gyn?  A cyst that large normally needs to come out.  I hope you get some relief soon,  waiting is the WORST!
