I have a cyst on my left ovary and it is causing me a lot of pain is this normal?
Yes, cysts can really hurt. But if it hurts so much the vicodin isn't working, I would call the office and ask. Sometimes you can have a cyst that is on a sort of stem, and if the stem twists, the pain can be extreme. If you get a sudden increase in pain beyond what you've got now, I'd call the after-hours doc.
Reply:Oh yes, I've had cysts for years (still have them) and they can be simply excruciating at times. I've been prescribed meds like vicodin and codine for cysts and I've never found them to work well. I usually just take a hot bath or put a heating pad on my stomach and hope it works. Tell your doc all about your pain, b/c even though most of the time cysts aren't harmful (they're just a pain...literally!) some cysts can be deadly if not removed or drained. Good luck.
Reply:Yes cyst do hurt i had 1 in my foot. You need to get it removed or you can get cancer. Or get it tested ask your doctor if its cancerious.My cyst type was austimeldiuos And it was cancerious but my docter removed it in time. I got mine removed in Pennsylvania my doctor was great im 11 but i know alot just contact your doctor and ask for a test.
Reply:Let me tell you about cyst thedy can be very painful and they have to be lanced .I had one on the enter part of my leg i had it lanced they cut it and let all the pus run out of it and it felt much better. And there a chance that it might come back.Good luck
Reply:Yep it's Normal! Cysts on overies are VERY VERY PAINFUL when it gets painful the cyst is popping and the vicadoin is working if the cyst are popping. I had a doctor that was so nasty he said You get cysts cause your over weight! But another thing people who get cysts can also be infertile!
Reply:I have the same problem too. My doctor told me its normal if you have pain when you are ovulating. Make sure you let the doctor know if its hurting too much...
