whichwayisup Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Awful timing seeing as this Saturday my husband and I are heading up to the Cottage... Been having some ovary pains (I'm mentrating right now so it's not ovulation time) today and my left side feels abit swollen and sore. The symptoms feel like it did before when I had my cyst. Seems I get this 2 times a year now. GRRRRRRRRRR! I will probably call my DR on Monday just to let her know and see if it's worth getting an ultrasound or not. I mean, it will just show the cyst and they'll tell me,"unless it gets HUGE, we can't do anything about it....Just deal with the pain side of it with painkillers and put heat on it." Don't know why I posted this, but anyway, it SUCKS! Link to post Share on other sites

Alexandra Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 As I understand it -coming from the "been there, had that" myself- there are two sorts, correct? The reoccuring sort can only be treated with efficient pills -often cumstom prescribed birth control pills- and physicians aren't inclined to do any form of intervention on that kind. I presume that's the case WWIU, right? Well regardless I know JUST how it feels... it sucks, make sure to stack on pain killers and try and enjoy your getaway. Link to post Share on other sites
tinktronik Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Sorry to hear it WWIU .Parhaps its just cramping pain? But thats wishfull thinking. It seems a large number of females now have "female related problems" compared to former generations ,I wonder why this is ? Hope you feel better. Link to post Share on other sites
Author whichwayisup Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Thanks everybody! I can't go on the Pill anymore, I'm 35 and smoke. I went off the Pill cuz of migraines too, so that isn't an option. My DR suggested Depo Vera shots but I read up on it (and did a post on it a while back) and alot of what I found out is nasty! Apparently mine are small but boy, do they ever hurt! I do think they have to be a certain size before they will operate or lance them. I don't know! Yuk though! My problem is not letting my mind wander to places it shouldn't go...Like worry it's something else and quite serious........Cysts are painful but they won't kill ya...But in my mind I can make a mountain out of an ant hill!

Wouldn't you rather have a cyst than ants in your pants?? I think that'd definitely be worse! Try and just relax at the cottage and if you're not driving, double up on those pain meds That oughta help! Link to post Share on other sites
RecordProducer Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Oh, sweetie! Yeah, you need to see your Dr. Look I don't know where you can find "propolis" here, it's a natural honey bee product (bees make it, no chemicals whatsoever). It's known as a good anti-septic, immunity booster, etc, but I have discovered that my ovaries' pain disappeared after consuming it. I was taking it for my immunity, but I had problems with my ovaries, they'd hurt me from time to time and after this propolis, they never came back. It works immediately, after one day of taking it, but if you continue to take it, it will prevent the pain from re-occurring. I guess it cures the reproductive system. I googled it and saw that people sell it, but I would make sure that it's really good, not just contain .01% of propolis or something. Try the drug stores too. My om would put a pad "topped" with spirit in her underwear - it warms you up and helps the pain or any infection go away. Cold is your ovaries' worst enemy - don't sit on cold stones or chairs EVER! I see that most restaurants here have wooden benches and chairs that are usually cold. Wear a blouse or something that you can put under your butt when you go out to dinner. I don't know anything about cysts, but hope you get rid of them and feel better. P.S. We should stop smoking, dontcha think? Link to post Share on other sites
