Ok- for a few months now- probably almost
4- I have had lower right pain in my
abdomen/pelvic area. My first thought
when the pain started was omg my appendix
so I rushed to the er- cat scan showed no
problem with my appendix so the doctor
suggested ovarian cysts- he said the pain
should go away on it's own- and it did for
like a week or so but it has been back and
pretty constant since then. I have gotten
ultrasounds done, pelvic exams, and pap
smears all with no results. I have
decided to start birth control pills with
my next cycle in hopes that this
discomfort will go away.
More recently I have had pain that goes
around my groin, in my butt and down my
leg- especially hurting in my knee. My
knee feels like it is ready to explode at
times. The pain will also continue all
the way down to my foot at times. So I
was wondering if this could be connected
to ovarian cysts or it is something
completely different.
I was also wondering if anyone who has had
ovarian cysts could explain the pain or
discomfort that it brough to them because
I still have no real proof that is what is
wrong with me it is just speculation at
this point. I am so frustrated though and
I hope everyday when I wake up I will just
feel normal again but I haven't had any
luck so far any help will be
greatly appreciated- thank you!

i have had these same symptoms as you. I
have had a cat scan and I did have an
ovarian cyst, but the doctor said that it
was so small and that it would probably go
away on its own. Since I found out, I
still get the pain every now and then. So
maybe your pain could be from a cyst.

yeah, cysts suck. i've had a couple
before. birth control definitely helps.
when i had my first cyst, the doctor put
me on birth control...and told me all i
could do was eat right... i just recently
got another one so she switched me to a
stronger birth conrol. the pain sure can
hurt like hell. i'm sorry
Those symptoms could also be related to
your back. Different problems with your
spine can cause abdominal pain and
radiating pain pown into the groin,
buttocks, legs and even feet. I would
also explore that route, an orthopaedic
surgeon might be able to help. Some
doctors just assume it is female problems
when you have abdominal pain, but that is
not always the case. I have had 4
surgeries for endomitriosis and always had
a cyst removal on my right side. It would
cause pain in my back and right side of my
abdomin, but just during my cycle. It was
painful, but I never experianced radiating
pain like you are describing.
any help will be
greatly appreciated- thank you!
