What are you waiting for?
So the past couple days I've had a dull pain on my right side. Today would be day 3. After day 2 it turned into a sharp pain. Have you ever had a gas bubble so bad you curled up in a ball until it passed? That's what I thought it was. Then when the pain just kept getting worse I started worrying. My back was hurting too. My thoughts, "Crap my kidney's again."
Well, I was part right. I do have a minor UTI/ low grade kidney infection. But that didn't seem to be the problem. I spent almost 4 hours in the ER. Not waiting at all, lotts of testing. None all to pleasant. After the 4 hours of testing I get my own room because they needed the ER rooms. And after blood work and tests, a few of them someone better be buying me dinner after that.... They decided to do ultra sounds. I thought they were thinking pregnant (possibly tubular). I mentioned my concern and got no answer. That scared me too.
So there opens a new worry. "Well what are you looking for?"
Apparently they needed to look at my Kidney, bladder, ovary and my appendix. Ruled out all but my poor fucking ovary.
Side note after the whole thing there I'm NOT pregnant.
Doctor comes in looking upset and worried. Tells me you have a 2 centimeter cyst on your right ovary. I told him to tell me he was joking. He gave me a sympathetic half smile and told me he wasn't. I had to wait for it to rupture in the next week OR for it to reach 6cm for surgery. He told me it's only going to get more painful as it grows.The ultra sound honestly hurt and that's because of the cyst. They normally don't hurt me, honestly. I asked when I can go back to work because i have work today. He told me I can not go today.
Me:"Tomorrow?" Hopeful look.
Doctor:"I don't suggest it, you should take a few days off"
So I told him write me a doctors note with the ABSOLUTE minimum so I can go back. He hands me back a note that says I have the next 5 days off. Well that scares the shit outta me. I looked and said "THATS MINIMUM?!!"
Afraid so. Apparently it will either burst/rupture by then, or grow larger and they need to look at it before I go back to work.
Honestly it hurts to do anything. Go to the bathroom, pass gas, move, eat, breath in deeply. Any time its moved it hurts. And apparently it can get big enough to get twisted and cause other damages...
I'm researching ovarian cysts and finding way to many different kinds for my likings.
I'm not amused.
