I feel like I’m going insane. I’m at the ER for the second time in a week because of a 7cm cyst. I am in absolutely crippling pain. My ovary isn’t twisted and the cyst didn’t burst so I don’t understand why I am in so much pain. When I went the first time on Saturday I assumed either my appendix burst or I had a kidney stone. The head doctor tried to just discharge me since I have surgery scheduled in a month but two different residents and a few nurses advocated for me and they are now keeping overnight pumped full of pain meds. I am a recovering addict and the only thing that has been helping the pain the last few days have been Percocet, so on top of being in horrible pain I have also been terrified of possibly relapsing. I really kind of wish I could just get rid of my ovaries at this point (I already had a hysterectomy a few years ago) but I’m not ready to deal with menopause. I feel like I am going to have to end up literally begging for a sooner surgery because I can’t survive a month living like this.
