Motrin???? WTF, Hospital???
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

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...

The status is NOT quo.
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.

I was just looking through a number of web sites (as I am apt to do and later regret), and I definitely have a lot of the symptoms of a ruptured cyst, including some things I had no idea might be related until I saw them on the list. I'm going to call my regular doctor tomorrow and ask her if she thinks I should get a pelvic ultrasound to confirm.
ETA: Thanks, tiggy. If the pain doesn't subside, I will to the ER tonight. I hope to avoid that for many reasons, but I will keep it as a backup plan.

Any pain that 800mg of Motrin can't kill needs to be taken seriously, indeed. Good luck, Kristin and relief~ma, if possible.

P.S. Seriously, did we incur a gypsy curse at some point this year? Because really, this is getting to be a little much.
