I will try to keep this as short as possible. 10 years ago I had a dermoid cyst which was removed by a C section style op. I now have a 7 cm x 7 cm dermoid cyst on my right ovary and a corpus luteum cyst of 2.5 cm on my left ovary. I also have a thickened uterine lining. None of this has ever given me any problems, apart from the odd sharp pain. Six weeks ago I moved a heavy piece of furniture, something I have done before with no problem. The next day I was aware something wasn’t right, I am normally a very active person but suddenly I could hardly walk. I had pain in my leg and a burning dragging sensation throughout my pelvic area. I have been in and out of a&e 3 times in pain. I have been checked for a prolapse, but doctors found nothing. The only thing found was a thrush infection. I have also seen my consultant gynaecologist who seemed puzzled by what had happened. He advised that I should have surgery to remove the cysts, tubes and ovaries. He also took a uterine biopsy and gave me a smear test . Tests have come back normal.
In the last 2 weeks, the burning sensation seems to have settled down a bit.
The dragging sensation remains but has gotten slightly better. I still can’t lift anything heavy like a bucket of water. It reminds me of my recovery from my C-section style operation to remove my last dermoid cyst. I think I have torn some muscles. Does this sound familiar to anyone.
