ovrian pain?

ok so i am not positive i have endometriosis: it will be checked for during my hysterectomy may 4th 2011.

so what im really concerned about lately:

2 weeks ago i had a colonoscopy & that turned out well, and 3 weeks before that an ultra sound.

ultra sound: left ovarian cyst & uterine fibroid tumors near the right.

so for about 2 weeks: my right side of my body & near my right ovary: has been REALLY hot & crampy. the right side of my body down my leg/inner thigh, all the way back to my kidney area.

i saw my primary doc, he gave me bentyl & its not doing any good & my gastro wont see me & im not sure my gyno can help.

ive had enough & ive got my surgery in may & i need whatever this is taken care of before it.

should i just chalk it up & go to the ER? this is just an odd problem. i doubt they can help.

im just not sure what doctor to see. since ive see mine & my gastro wont see me ( i called him 3x, he just said, go buy gas x).. should i call my gyno & explain my symptoms or just go to the ER?

If you are concerned, either visit ER or an Urgent Care facility.

Do you have a fever? Any chance you have appendicitis?

Let us know how things turn out! in there!

the pain is by my right ovary (then goes diagonal, up by my right side of my body, then ends by my kidneys: to be more specific) but the ultra sound showed nothing there....


so im not sure: why there would be pain there & why it would be pain on the whole right side of my body & WHY the heck its HOT.

all i get asked when i call nurse lines & my doc: do you have a temp, do you see blood or any vomiting & of course that is no: so..what the heck.

no chance of appendicitis.

i really have NO idea what this could be, or if the ER would help.

I had an ovarian cyst (right side) and had lower back pain(right), outer and inner thigh pain(right), front/pelvic pain(right and left), I think side pain too but I can't remember now. I don't remember it being hot. I think the pain from the cyst radiated out and presented in other locations. In fact for weeks before diagnosis I was convinced it was lower back pain. It was not at all obvious to me that it was an ovarian cyst. The ultrasound showed the cyst.

yeah? thanks that helps a ton!

but thats the problem. my cyst is on the left & the pain & hotness is on the right. grr


im calling my gyno, on monday & maybe she can help. shes my last effort. i really dont want to go to the ER, they are always useless.

since my regular doc tried and cant help & my gastro refuses to help, lets try one more doctor. sheesh.


i thought id get some insight here, to see if anyone here had similar symptoms.

This sounds like my pain, it's so bad I can't walk. Definitely see one of your doctors though because it could be other things. Maybe one of them will give you something to control the pain until you have your surgery. Best of luck!

DogLover82,

I hope your doc can figure out what's causing it. The heat part sounds unusual so it's worth asking your gyn or even an ER about it.

I've had a similar pain for the past month (but without the heat) and my doc thinks it's an endometrioma on my right ovary that swelled during my last cycle and is now causing the pain. She advised me to just hang in there and they will clean it off my ovary during my LSH this Wed.

Hope they can straighten it out soon for you--I'll be sending good thoughts your way because I know it can be really frustrating.

thank you all so much!

yes its frustrating & really odd!
