GYNECOLOGIC: Is this possibly an ovarian cyst rupturing?From: Need Help (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 19 Nov 2008 19:21:35 -0600 (CST)
I had a hysterectomy a year ago but still have both ovaries and tubes. I was found to have small ovarian cysts on both ovaries about 6 weeks ago. My doctor put me on 6 weeks of Lo/Ovral to try to shut down the ovaries and dissolve the cysts. Well, I've been taking the BCPs for about 5 weeks now. I had pain before the cyst diagnosis but I was still able to function at a fairly normal level. About 2 weeks ago, the pain got worse, it became constant and it felt like someone had shoved a steel rod down the left side of my body and speared the ovary. The pain was bad but I could still manage with just high doses of NSAIDS. The last couple of days, however, the pain has been almost intolerable. I had to finally break down and try Darvocet, and even that offers almost no relief. I can barely sit or walk because of the constant stabbing pain on my left side and I am a little bit nauseous today. If a cyst were rupturing would it happen suddenly or is it possible to have it occur over a period of a couple of days? As awful as the pain is, it isn't bringing me to my knees yet, and my understanding is that it should to necessitate an ER visit! I also have a pretty high pain tolerance though, so maybe I am having "bringing me to my knees pain" and I just don't realize it. Can someone offer some insight?
