I absolutely hate hospitals but this was where I was for 5 hours last night. Yeterday morning I got up, got myself and Little Tiggs ready and drove to the childminder. I parked up just in time before I had the most excruciating pain in my abdomen. Sat in the car for a bit and then got out and walked Little Tiggs to the childminder. Ask I knocked on the door I felt like I was going to pass out. Went in and sat down for a bit. Called my mum and she came and got me and we went to the docs who couldn't see me as it was packed in there. Went back in the afternoon and gp referred me to A&E with suspected ovarian cyst.
Anyway, 4 blood tests, a urine test and several hours later I was diagnosed with a twisted ovary and discharged with a pack of cocodamol. I took the cocodamol but the spasms still continued. I'm still feeling quite tender in the abdominal area so I didn't go into work today.
The one thing I am glad of though is that it was not something I had to be admitted for as I hate hospitals. I have absolutely no fear of the dentists and like having my teeth cleaned and polished. Am I in the minority here? I hate going to the docs as well!
Ooh tigger, I had that pain 5 weeks ago. They thought it was a heart attack, then appendicitis before looking into a gynae / ovarian cause. I sympathise xx
Did they do an abdominal ultrasound tigger? If not then I fail to see how they came to their diagnosis, a cyst or 'twisted ovary' would not show up in blood and urine tests. :-/
I bet....just bet.....depending upon if you you were in mid menstrual cycle that he meant......Mittelschmertz.........Google it.....and that may be your diagnosis.
