Lower abdominal pain and bloating

[lara1228]

Hi ladies, I have been having lower abdominal pain on the right side of my pelvic area along with bloating.  I can't exercise because the pain becomes excrutiating when I do. I have been on the pill since July and my periods have always been regular.  I always get it every fourth Tuesday, but this month, I had some spotting the week before I was supposed to get it and I didn't get it at all nor did I have any symptoms.  The last time I had sexual intercourse was in December and I have had a normal period since then, as well as two pregnancy tests that came back negative.  A year ago I had my left ovary removed due to a large ovarian cyst.  I'm just wondering what this pain can be coming from, could it be a new cyst?  I have a doctor appointment on Friday, but I cant stop worrying about this because it just doesn't feel right.

Hi Lara, I ma sorry that you are in so much pain.  It sounds like you COULD have an ovarian cyst on your right ovary.  Are you running a fever or vomiting?  If you start running a fever, or your pain localizes between your hip bone and your belly button get to the ER asap, as it could be your appendix.  I go by the motto, If it does not feel right, it probably is not.  Just keep in mind that you know your body better than anyone else.  Please keep us posted.  Kasie

Thanks Casie...I have no fever or vomiting so that's a good sign.  I'm just gonna wait until I get to the doc and see.  The pain is not so bad, its kind of a dull ache, but when I move around it gets worse, so I've been taking it easy.  I will post after I have seen the doc.  Thanks for your reply!  This site has been very helpful.
