Advice for ovarian cyst and sciatica pain

[Aloneonprecipice]

Hi ladies

So it all started 4 months ago with bad and wierd ovulation pain. I say weird because I felt huge pressure in pelvic floor and around tail bone, along with usual ovulation pain. My period started to get longer and longer and heavier.

The pain scared me enough to go to gp next day and she said don't know what u e talking about, ordered some basic blood and tests and sent me home that it cud be just a rogue ovulation.

I was right back at gp the next month with even more severw ovulation and continuous pain from ovulation to end period. She again said let take the copper coil out and let's see. I said I have had coil for 5 years and I am sure it's not the coil. I wrestled a scan from her.

Scan was yet another bad ovulation later and I was on period when o has the scan which showed a clear 3.8 cm cyst on right ovary.

I have shooting groin and hip pain and throbbing in ovary along with bloating and stuff. To top things off I developed horrendous sciatic pain when my this period started.

I was in so much back pain I went back to gp and before saying anything I started crying. She loaded me up with pain killers and said cyst is too small to cause any problems and sciatic will sort itself with pain killers some rest and exercise. No need for gynecologist referral for a small clear cyst.

Today is exactly a week of horrible sciatic pain, can't walk, sit or stand for long. I still have shooting groin, hip ovary pain. And I am really depressed.

I am sure this sciatic has something to do with cyst. Small or not it's pressing on nerve and giving me agony. I m depressed and gp won't listen and I am facing months of sciatic until cyst shrink!!!

Am I going crazy thinking it's cyst or is it random sciatic?

I am sorry for a long ramble but I take it as a way to vent out at a shrink.... Please any advice, experience or anything will be appreciated.

I am so very sorry for such a late reply. I am not usually on Mumsnet a lot and your post just got lost somewhere.

I had a laparoscopy for that blasted cyst. During the procedure doctor found multiple cysts and considerable amount of endometriosis. Doctor cleaned all the cysts and tried her best with endometriosis and all the pain was gone instantly. It was like a switch turned off on pain.

You can't see everything on a scan. Seems scary but I got lucky to have the procedure and basically feel cured.

Hope you find your cure too.
