So I told the doc I thought I pulled my muscle in my rib cage/back.....lol apparently he was right when he thought Ovarian Cyst...never in my mind would I think this could cause so much pain....I thought I was going to die last night cannot wait til they get this thing outta me. I go back to the doc on Thursday to the fs and I could call Wednesday to my regular docs as he would have the ultrasound showing my 6cm cyst on my left ovary...I hope they fix this soon! I just want to know if I have to have surgery to get it outta there
