Ovarian cysts

What,
Those cysts can be so very miserable. I am glad that they are addressing your pain. I had a big one taken earlier this month...the ovary came with it. That was Dec 3 and I am back easily 90%. I just don't lift anything heavy....shoulder stops that anyhow.
The surgery didn't really cause me much pain but the gas is a mother bear! Walking helps a lot! Even if you don't feel like it, walking is your friend. Ice packs helped too.
Before surgery, I used a warm rice bag to settle things down some.
I wish you a speedy recovery. Just don't push yourself hard or you will pay.
Good luck and happy holidays

Hey Wx2...Your surgery is on Monday, right?  I'm keeping you in my heart and in my prayers.  I wondered about you after your last post...hoping you didn't have to have emergency surgery.  How are you?  Please post an update when you feel up to it.

Hey Babygirl...I'm here for you whenever you need me.  You know that my email is always open.  I'll leave the light on for you=)

I'm so very sorry for the pain you're going through.  My prayer is that your surgery will locate and exise the culprit.  Have you discussed with your surgeon how he will address his findings?  PLEASE, PLEASE insist (if found) that the lesions of endo be exised, not burned.  The "burning" leaves roots (yes) like a weed, allowing the disease to grow fiercely again. 

How is the Percocet at managing your pain?  Does it "touch" it on any level?  I started PM in January 2014, as you know.  I have 24/7 moderate (ramping to severe) spine/joint/pelvic pain.  It intensifies (pelvic/rectal) during the first week of each month even though I have NO uterus or ovaries.  My PM told me specifically "I do not treat pelvic pain, but I will treat your bone pain.  Pain is pain".  I'm currently taking Oxycodone with no Aceto.  It's just not doing the job, but I can't afford the ER form.  Plus I have no clue if it would work any better.  I try to stay positive, but I swear sometimes I feel I'm doomed to pain and suffering. 

I wish I had more optimism, but the decades have created a pessimist=(

Thank goodness the Perc is giving you "some" relief.  I don't want to increase anxiety for you, but I would hope you've discussed at length with your surgeon:  Are you prepared to lose your uterus if deemed necessary?  Ovaries?  I pray this isn't the case, but I would be remiss if I didn't share.  My first 2 surgeries, the idiot surgeon "cleaned" my disease consumed ovaries and left them there.  He removed my uterus vaginally.  He sewed one piece of fallopian tube into my vaginal cuff, causing permanent agony.  My third and final surgery was performed by a renowned cancer surgeon for women only.  He had to literally "clean up the mess" from the first 2 surgeries AND the endometriosis which had aggressively rebounded within 1 year (with Lupron).  There was extensive bowel involvement.  Please discuss these things with his nurse beforehand, if you haven't already.

There's just so much, unfortunately, that doctors don't take the time to discuss with us.  They rush to cut, then rush again when we have problems down the road.

I can only speak of m experience, as I am obviously not a medical professional.  I would NEVER EVER NEVER allow the evil drug of Lupron to be administered to me.  Been there.  Done that.  It did nothing good...ruined my bone density.
