Ovarian cyst?

I have been having pain in the left side where my ovary is, and it hurts into my left hip and the lower left side of my back hurts, but the right side where my ovary is swelled up. It also make my left leg hurt, and it hurts to sit, stand , or walk. It also feels full only on my left side...I have had an ovarian cyst before, but the only thing I had with it was alot of pain, and that was it.. I have an appt with my OBGYN march 5th, but I dont think I can wait that long. Could it be an ovarian cyst agian, or something else. I know noone knows for sure and this isn't a doctors office, but I need some advice.

Ovarian cyst?
I had a couple of Ovarian Cysts that resulted in Emergency surgery. I was informed that had the biggest one burst, I would have bled to death. It's nothing to mess around with. Get in and find out what's going on for sure, it might save your life.
Reply:I think you should get in ASAP. You dont want to fool around with pain like that. It almost sounds like you may have an ectopic pregnancy which is common if you have ovarian cysts. The lastthing you want is one of the fallopian tubes to burst. Get it checked out as soon as you can
Reply:Try a hot pad or hot bath. Zuke is right it could be an ectopic pregnancy or a twisted tube, etc. Better go to the ER.
Reply:If you are in alot of pain you should not wait.I use to get them alot when I was younger.It helps to use a heating pad to releave some of the discomfort.You also could have a kidney infection too.Also hot baths can help too.
Reply:Call your OB/GYN and tell them you're experiencing this pain...see if they can get you an earlier appt. If the pain gets worse, go to the ER...A cyst can ruture and cause you even more problems
Reply:Pls get in touch with the OB/GYN's office on Tues to see about getting in sooner than the 5th.





In the mean time because you are having a lot of pain either try a walk-in urgent care clinic or the ER.
Reply:sounds like same pain i had with my cyst. but that was only after mine burst. but i still have a couple on my right side and i feel some pain with them still, but nothing sever, just a little achy from time to time. but yes, what u said sounds like a cyst again. if the pain is unbearable try to go in to the doc sooner. if no appts available try another doc or the er. someone else mentioned the possibility of ectopic pregnancy, which is certainly possible, and urgent. but again, we cant know for sure. (i think u would feel a lot sicker if it were that though)
