have been experiencing a very sharp pain in my lower left abdomen for about a month. I first started getting the pain about 1 week prior to the start of my menstrual cycle. Since it is almost like a cramping pain I sometimes experience prior to menstruation, I attributed to my period. My period came and went and the pain continued. At some times it became unbearable to the point I was laying on the floor in tears. For three consecutive days, I woke up in the middle of the night and vomited. About 2 weeks ago I made an appoinment and went to my gyno. She did a transvaginal ultrasound and informed me it appeared I had a cyst that had burst, thus causing the pain. She said I have excess fluid and the pain should go away within a week. She prescribed neither a painkiller nor antibiotic. It has since been 2 weeks and I am still in exruciating pain. I called her and she stated that I will be fine. However, I am very worried as it seems everyday i am still in pain, even causing me not to go to work for 2 days. Does this sound normal that she did not prescribe any medication and told me to wait it out or should I seek another opinion? Is it normal for a cyst that burst to cause this much pain, especially for over a month? Should I be concerned that it may be somehing else? I am at ends and sic my doctor has told me to calm down and I will be fine I feel as though I have no one to help me feel at ease. |
