The doctor thinks it's probably a ruptured ovarian cyst. Not kidney or bladder infection or stones or appendicitis, he doesn't think, but still. Ow. Four hours of waiting for "Take this Motrin and go to the ER if it gets worse...oh, and go see your regular doctor sometime soon for a follow-up." Seriously? Dude, at least give me some decent drugs! This shit hurts!
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

“Not dead yet!”
Four hour wait for process of elimination. Bitch, please-- our girl needs some drugs, dammit. At least give her the Tylenol with coedine.

he's giving you Motrin for a ruptured ovarian cyst?! WTF is with the medical profession? seriously.

Because books.
That's absurd. I shake my fist at him, Kristin. I can't believe he couldn't tell you definitively, either.

well...to be fair on that account. they'd have to a pelvic ultrasound to see it if it's a ruptured cyst. however, the hospital is equipped with those. so...

Thanks for the sympathy, loves.
It was urgent care, not the hospital. I think he didn't think my pain was emergent enough to justify sending me to the ER. To be fair, I wasn't in as much pain then--it had subsided for a bit. Now that I'm back home, I feel like someone is stabbing me through the back into my ovary with an ice pick. Man does this suck.
I took my first dose of 800 mg of ibuprofen and am really hoping I will feel some relief shortly.

honestly, Kristin? i'm inclined to disagree with the doc. when i was going through all my endometriosis crap 4 years ago(before i knew it was endo), i was having pain like you were describing. my parents called my doctor because i was in so much pain that i couldn't sit or lay still. my doc was really worried that my cyst had ruptured and told me to go to the hospital immediately. so i guess i'm saying that if you're still in a lot of pain after the Motrin should have kicked in, go to the ER.
