Having a bad day today, and feeling very confused... straight after going to the toilet this morning, barely made it to bathroom sink, had stabbing pain from right ovary all the way down and through vagina. Very crippling pain. I've had this before, never diagnosed or investigated, but this time it lasted a lot longer than usual. Couldn't sit because the pressure on vagina made it worse (sorry for tmi). Rang hubby at work because the pain was overwhelming. He had his car at mechanics but ran… read more

I had a sudden attack of pain like that, was so bad I went to ER because I had no idea what was happening. They were not helpful but I went for ultrasound which revealed cysts, endometriomas, fibroids. The pain went away in about 48 hours, though I still felt very fatigued. Doctor was being dismissive but when I asked whether it could've been a ruptured cyst, he said yes, especially if the pain was sudden.

Yeah sounds like a ruptured cyst to me. I once walked round with a 5cm haemorrhagic cyst for 3 days before I went to hospital with it, I'd been in the pub drinking and playing pool like it was normal, and that was exactly how I felt. I think with endo you can learn pain so when it's what someone without endo would be panicking about and going to hospital for you just think ok this is just a bad pain I'll be ok but really your perception of what is worrying has become distorted by what you've got used to feeling on a daily basis. But, that doesn't mean it's not worthy of attention. I then spent 3 days on a morphine drip while they deliberated about removing it. It shrunk on its own so it was fine but people lose literally litres of blood in life-threatinging ways through ruptured cysts- like all other aspects of endo they are slimy, fake, lying bastards whose true nature is only revealed by a surgeon's intervention. My whole pelvis was full of old blood that I then painfully re-absorbed while lying in hospital. Go and get yourself looked at- cysts are not trivial, however much they try to make you think they are. There is always the possibility of infection too.
