Hey guys

I'll pray for you hon, but it sounds like it could be an ovarian cyst. I had one. They hurt like the devil.

sending cyber hugs and sympathies your way....

It be a cyst (weird little growth, mostly harmless) on your ovary. It cause pain and can mess with your cycle, but is generally harmless other than the pain.

((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))

Hopefully it's minor and temporary, and not your appendix. If the doctor didn't immediately jump to that conclusion while examining you, you hopefully dodged that bullet.

Here's the Wiki on Ovarian cysts.

My daughter had one removed a couple of years back. She was in so much pain that she had difficulty crawling up the stairs to go to bed, so we took her to the hospital, where they did the scan and the surgery.

Hugs and prayers, Eskimo, and hope you feel better soon.

If they thought it was your appendix they would have wheeled you straight into hospital- my money is on cyst too. I had ovarian cysts when I was a teenager and they were agonising. *Big hugs*

Try not to worry.

It could also be a kidney stone. Ct scan will tell one way or the other. Thinking positive thoughts for you.

I had a co-worker a few years back who had to have an ovarian cyst removed. She was back on her feet and back at work in about a week and a half.

It could also be a gallstone - they can hit anyone.

Another kind of weird thing - back when I was in college I came down with, of all things, a nasty little infection of the cartilage between two of my ribs. It felt like someone was putting a hot knife into my side - I couldn't even take a deep breath. The fever didn't kick in for a day or so. It took a few weeks' worth of antibiotics to get it all sorted out.

Hope you get better soon! I am pretty sure it is something mentioned above, either a cyst or a stone. Either way... glad you got it checked out!

Have you tried reviewing some of the medical Web sites? There's a lot of real information on the .edu and hospital Web sites.

Sometimes they can be a bit spooky to read (I have THAT and I'm dying!), but by keeping focused on the symptoms and researching, you can find some comforting information and how to make yourself comfortable.

Good luck and take care of yourself.

Sending gentle hugs your way, skisy. Hope you're feeling better very soon and it's something the docs can fix w. medication.

Yes, it is probably nothing, but you're smart to go and be seen by the doctor. I"m not going to try and diagnose you over the internet, I'm just adding my good thoughts. I hope the doctor gives you good news.

That's what I was thinking. They can come and go on their own. I had one earlier this year.

Well, I know this is stressful. But, in a case like this, my doc always says "No news is good news" when waiting on a test result. If you have immediate and bad news coming your way with a medical test, they don't (typically) wait a weekend. It is likely that it is not horribly serious. But, sorry you are having pain. That is horrible. I hope you feel better.

Best of luck and hug.

That was going to be my guess, depending on where the pain was.
