Ovarian cyst pain — looking for advice/experiences
F31, 145 lbs
Yesterday my wife was seen in the ER and diagnosed with a small ovarian cyst. They gave her morphine and the. Docs performed cat and ultrasound. The doctor said it wasn’t serious, prescribed Motrin and Percocet, and told us to follow up with a gynecologist in 3–4 weeks with another ultrasound. Doc said this will pass in a few days. The checked blood, urine, all analysis came back normal. Her levels are fine, they said.
Update: This morning around 7 AM she started having pain again — 8 outta 10, enough that she feels it when she tries to take a deep breath, similar to yesterday. She says it feels like something it's sticking out thru her ribs.
Has anyone dealt with this kind of recurring cyst pain? Any tips on managing it day to day until the gyn appointment?
