My enlarged ovary is actually 6x the size it should be and i also have border line polycystic ovaries.. im always uncomfortable and having bursts of cramps etc my periods are irregular i only have about 1week where i dont spot... ive had 3 water infections in 4months and i have lower back pain and feel bloated...ive also put on weight.. my leg also goes numb with shooting pains but trying to work out if thats linked to a riding accident i had 7years ago or this.. im being sent for another scan to see if its got bigger then im being sent for another scan with a camera (cant remember the name of it).. its just awaiting game now  waiting for my tests and appointments to come through..  ive been kept up at night with worry. very worried.

I am so glad you have a doctor who listens and cares.....you found a keeper!  I am also relieved to hear you will be seeing a gyn/oncologist.
You are definitely on the right path.
Hang in there, kid, and keep us posted.
Peace.

Hiya thanks for your reply :)

This is a new doctor, My first doctor AND i actually saw two doctors they both sent me home and just told i had polycystic ovaries and a bulky ovary ...

So i left it for about two months but i started having more symptoms and discomfort and not feeling right...
I went to another doctor (new surgery) as i moved back home and shes been perfect and has booked me a  emergency scan for monday  to check it hasn't got any bigger etc.. and im also waiting for appointment to come through for me to see a gyn/oncologist...
thanks for your reply
take care x

The waiting game is hard for everyone.   It's good you have a doctor who is taking the time to run the needed tests to get to the bottom of your situation.
If surgery is in your future it is imperative you request a referral to a gyn/oncologist as this is their arena of expertise.
YOU HAVE ONLY ONE CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.....make certain you have a gyn/oncologist by your side in the event of a surgical procedure.
It sounds like you are pretty miserable so I hope you get put on a fast track.  Please do keep us posted.
Peace.
