Ovarian cyst still causing lots of pain after 2 weeks?
I was diagnosed with a 2 inch (4.2 cm) ovarian cyst on my right side 2 weeks ago. It’s still causing large bouts of pain every 2 hours or so, and the prescribed pill isn’t working for pain. It’s been getting worse, and I’ve missed 5 days of school due to this.
My mom’s afraid that the cyst is growing larger or twisting, so she got me another doctor appointment for tomorrow morning.
I’m afraid, because I’ve been looking up information about ovarian cysts and tumors, that it might be twisting my ovary, or possibly growing larger.
My family has a history of ovarian cysts and tumors, and even cancer, and I was wondering how I could tell if it’s twisting or growing larger just by the way the pain will feel.
What does it feel like when it’s twisting or about to rupture, and how will I know if I have to go to the ER?

I had a cyst twist my ovary and ended up losing the ovary.
The pain from it twisting will be unbearable–drop you to your knees, can’t stop crying, want to die, horrible. It will also be accompanied by severe nausea.
Definitely go back and see your doctor. The ER sent me home twice, the second time with those symptoms. Two days later my gyno decided to do surgery and discovered my poor ovary dying and had to remove it.
Good luck! I hope you feel better.
I am 33 and have cysts for a very long time. Today my ob/gyn measured the size of my cyst on the right side- 7mm. Its grown almost double and she wants to test it for cancer.
I once had my cyst drained . It was a minor procedure.
As for what it feels like. I have this horrible dull throbbing pain on my right side, goes down to the middle of my thigh and even the back. I am tired of popping pain killers.
As for if its twisting or rupture. i think the pain will be so unbearable that you will know you need to go to the ER.
