Re: Chocolate cyst

Hello, thank-you for your information.
As I've responded to others, my cyst burst yesterday, and I went to see
my Health Clinic, my family Doctor was not available, so I saw someone
else. He told me to take some advil, and call the office in the
morning. I called my Gyn, whom I haven't actually seen yet, and they
told me I could wait until my appointment in mid-January to see them.
I'm very frustrated by the Doctors that don't seem to care that I'm in
pain.
