To go to A&E? (Ovarian cyst)

I was diagnosed with a large (7cm) Ovarian cyst in March following pain in my lower abdomen and groin area. I was refered for surgery due to the pain it (and still is) causing but I can't get a consultant appointment until the end of July. Hmm I'm convinced it's got bigger since the initial scan. I'm more bloated and the pain has increased

I had some sharp pains this morning and a few throughout the day but ignored them. The pains have ramped up since about 8pm and won't go away. It's sharp all the time but constant. I can walk around (with pain) but can't lift my leg on the effected side. It's varying between a four and a six on the one to ten pain scale. I'm worried it's going to rupture or has twisted. Wibu I be unreasonable to go to A&E tonight?

How are you @PollyParrot1?
Definitely right to A&E, shocking that you have a wait until July. I'm another one who had a ruptured ovarian cysts, excruciating. Hope you're being treated.

Sorry for not replying sooner. Luckily it hadn't twisted or ruptured and they're going to try and push this referral forwards (hopefully) . They sent me home about 6am with coedine for the pain. Unfortunately I ended up being rushed back in by ambulance by 9am after suffering a severe allergic reaction to the coedine tablets. Chest tightened, was struggling to breathe and kept vomiting. They let me go home once the coedine and it's effect wore off but it was all a bit scary and surreal.

Oh fig, so getting treatment turned out to be a terrible idea? I guess you're stable now, is something.
