Omg! Ovary pain

[joenali]

I'm in pain. I'm having a hard time walking and sitting and bending over. it hurts so bad. And the pain comes in waves, it hurts quite bad.

I take my BC continuously and last week I gave myself a week off of any pills (end of pack). I've had ovary pain before when I was completely off the pill, and I knew that was mittleschmertz (spelling?). When the pain comes I almost get short of breath it hurts so bad. I was super bloated this morning as well. I started taking my new pack this past Sunday.

I guess all call the consulting nurse if this doesn't end soon.

Are you sure it isn't a kidney stone? I have had ovarian cyst pain and kidney stones and in the beginning I had trouble distinguishing them.

Oooh! I don't know. I've never had one. Should I Dr. Google?

You should probably get that checked out. Do you have cysts?

That pain is brutal. I've seen a lot of patients go to the ER when it flares up. It can be very painful, so don't feel bad about needing medication to get it to settle down.

Have no idea if I have cysts or not.

Sounds like a cyst. I had one burst and it felt very much like what you're describing.

I don't know about Dr. Google; that could be dangerous. But I had what I thought was recurring ovary pain (it definitely recurred, but I could never match it up with anything hormones-wise) and it turned out to be diverticulitis flareups and the little pockets were right where my ovary is. Definitely painful, but maybe not disablingly-painful. But worth considering, maybe. Hope you feel better!

If I had pain that intense, I would definitely see a doctor. Start with your gynecologist to rule out a ruptured ovarian cyst. They should be able to quickly rule it out with an ultrasound.

That does not sound like normal pain. I would call someone now.

Even if it just a cyst that needs to be monitored, pain medication is your friend.
