A little background story first,

two years ago I had a 16 cm dermoid cysts that had bursted and caused a torsion to my ovary. was surgically removed with my right ovary and fellopian tube. After that I had several other trips to the ER with abdominal pain and turned out i also had gallstones and a bellybutton hernia.

Two days ago, i had excruciating pain that started on my lower left abdominal side then spread to the point i no longer could pin point the pain. lasted about 8 hours and no amount of anti-inflammatory drugs would help. i am now feeling residual pain as if someone punched me on the inside and left me sore. i opted not to go to er this time bc of covid and doct office is closed. any ideas what could be happening? 😕

    Hi V, Seeing your history, call your DR/hospital and tell them your symptoms & about having the cyst, torsion & emergency surgery...you should go to the DR, at least phone ASAP...there is a 15% chance that women will have this in BOTH ovaries...they have a high incidence of torsion, which is an emergency...I in NO WAY want you to panic, as it could be a re-injury of your hernia or surgical adhesions but, the pain you are describing sounds like what could be from an ovary or tube....you need to consult a DR as only they can tell you, using diagnostic testing EXACTLY what it is...IF you end up talking to a NEW DR....be sure to describe your history of the CYST, TORSION, ER SURGERY...they need to know your chances are higher for having a repeat & you aren't just Googling stuff!! Good Luck...I really hope you're okay and everything works out for you!! BEST WISHES💒☮🎶🐾🌈♾🍀
