Weird ovary pain

[dixeedeluxe]

I've been having a dull pain in my ovary for a while but barely noticable. Today, its worse but I'm still not bent over in pain. I do feel pain when I press on the area though. Like 3/10 if that.

I do have my period. But it's CD4 and I may be ovulating tomorrow.

I ate CFA for dinner and it made me all gassy bloated.

It can prob wait til Monday, right? ER tomorrow is my only other option and it's not ER level pain.

(I always think I have cancer)

[dixeedeluxe]

No waiy, it's CD3. So im at least 2 days out from ovulating.

[katfco]

What does "for a while" mean? All day or several days?
I get ovary pain a lot just before my period. When I was younger, I was always afraid it was appendicitis, since it was on the right side.

[dixeedeluxe]

Shit it's on my right side. It's low though. Like right near my hip.

Maybe a little under a week? But it was so dull. Barely noticeable.

[katfco]

That's where my ovary pain is. Have you taken anything for it?
Can you jump up and down without doubling over? If so, then don't worry, it's likely not appendicitis.

[dixeedeluxe]

Jumping is fine. And I haven't taken anything. Guess I should.

[dixeedeluxe]

Pain is already a bit better. But I'll call my doc on Monday.

Do they do a CT scan to find them? Or u/s?

[katfco]

An ultrasound would likely be the first step, but if it's your only symptom, it's probably just typical ovarian pain. It's called mittelschmerz: www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/mittelschmerz/basics/definition/con-20025507

I'm sorry dixee. Could be a cyst as Kat said. Usually with appendicitis if you push on the area and release and THEN have severe pain then that is a sign.

Uh, I think I have this symptom! But it's not very bad. And it's so low. Like 10 inches from my belly button. Even though I have a high belly buttonc it's low.

It's gotten better after the ibuprofen, but I still do feel pain that's lingering enoigh that I know it's there. I'd still say 2-3/10.

I'm hyper paranoid because I'm alone!

Hmmmm...reading those links. I don't really have any of the cyst Sx besides pain. But I have my period so it's hard to tell.

Nonetheless, I've had that nagging nausea since February! Im gonna call the doc Monday.

Thanks dudes!

Rut roh. Well that is called rebound tenderness feel free to google. Do you have a 24hr nurse line you could call? Ugh it would suck to sit in an er forever but appendicitis can get bad very quickly and don't you have a fairly high pain tolerance?

[dixeedeluxe]

Oh heck no. I have the lowest pain tolerance ever.

It kind of feels like a bruise.

Man I wish H was here! He had appendicitis and he could tell me. I am gonna google for an image.

[Na]

Eh if it feels like a bruise I would think you would be okay until tomorrow

[dixeedeluxe]

Well shit. I just google image searched.

[Na]

Noooooooop you don't wanna see that stuff!

[dixeedeluxe]

I couldn't go now anyway because i don't have anyone to call to watch the kids. Gah!

[TrudyCampbell]

It could be a cyst. I had pain like that after fertility treatment because my ovary was hyperstimulated.

NOT CANCER!

[dixeedeluxe]

It was like ADAM charts. I just meant the location is no bueno.

[dixeedeluxe]

Wait but I can jump! Tell me the jumping thing is legit.

[dixeedeluxe]

Also, no fever. I had a low grade one with a cold the past few days but not today at all.

[TrudyCampbell]

If you had appendicitis you would feel like SHIT. You cannot miss it.

[laurack]

I don't know but I had appendicitis when I was a kid and it was excruciating like I was doubled over in pain and couldn't move and had to be rushed to the hospital before it exploded

I get ovary pain during ovulation but usually just for a day or so

[dixeedeluxe]

Yeah I do not feel like shit.. a bit of anxiety now but not sick.

I've also been coughing! And lifing a 40lb sickie A LOT. Maybe I pulled something!

Butttttttt, im not going to ignore it. Google is making me think even if it is appendicitis, I'll be ok tonight. But also it's prob not appendicitis.

[dixeedeluxe]

Pain is not exacerbated by coughing.

My self Dx for tonight is I need to calm down!

[Na]

There is NO WAY you could jump! Maybe you pulled a muscle lol.

Whewwwwwwwww I AM CURED!

[Na]

Lol go put your feet up.

[katfco]

The jumping thing is totally legit. When Abby had severe stomach pain and nausea (due to strep), the doctor had her jump off the table. You don't have acute appendicitis. It honestly sounds just like the pains I have, that I think are mittleschmerz. Mine is exacerbated when I need to have a bowel movement.

However, since it's lasted this long, you may want to call your doctor on Monday just to be sure it's not something more serious. But it doesn't sounds like an ER thing.
