Severe abdominal pain, ongoing, progressively worse
Hi y'all. I had a hysterectomy done 2/07 because of damage done by adhesions. Let me say this first...I decided to quit my job and go to college full time so I can graduate in May so I no longer have health insurance.
Anyway, About 2 months ago, I started having intense pain on my right side, under my ribs and nausea, with some lower abdominal cramping...I would be bent over in pain for 4 days if I had sex and I was beginning to become constipated. I went to the ER and they said there wasn't anything wrong with me but that I had a small cyst (4cm) on my right ovary. That's the second time I've gotten a cyst there since my hysterectomy. Anyway, I've been dealing with the pain and crying myself to sleep and whatever because noone seems to want to help me. I eat and I get pain on my right side, in my ribs, I get nausesous and now to add insult to injury, I get severe abdominal cramps. It has gotten to the point where I can drink water and feel horrible.
So then, the other night, my boyfriend commented on how "tight" I was while we were having sex. Being curious, the next morning, I checked it out for myself. When I felt up in there, I noticed a lump that reminded me of two knuckles put together pushing from the other side of my vaginal wall, from my rectum. I kinda freaked out and decided to try and make sure there was no stool in there. I've also noticed a lot of pressure in there that makes me feel like I need to push something out. So later on that night, I felt again and I no longer felt the lump but felt swollen. It was difficult to fit two fingers in there and it almost seemed like I had to push a bunch of pillows out of the way to do it. The cramping in my lower abdominal area is almost constant now and I'm still being told that because I don't have insurance that I'm not important. Even ER's are making me feel like a drug seeker and not truely listening to me. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help and I'm beginning to lose my mind over this.

Natasha, there must be a free clinic in your city. You really need some tests.
