HI
LET ME START WITH I AM 41 AND HAD A HYSTERECTOMY 17 YEARS AGO DUE TO ENDOMETRIOSIS. THEY TOOK ALL BUT MY RIGHT OVARY.
FOR A YEAR NOW I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH A CYST? IT STAYED SMALL TIL RESCENTLY. ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO I STARTED GETTING TERRIBLE PAIN IN MY RIGHT PELVIC AREA. THEN LAST MONTH I HAD TERRIBLE PRESSURE ON MY BOWELLS AND BLADDER AS WELL. THE PAIN WAS SO BAD I THOUGHT I WOULD PASS OUT FROM IT. I WENT TO THE ER AND THEY SAID MY CYST WAS NOW 6CM. I HAVE NOT BEEN PAIN FREE A DAY IN SO LONG. I TAKE VERY STRONG PAIN MEDS AND THEY DO NOT BEGAN TO TOUCH THE PAIN, I HAVE HAD CHRONIC DIARRHEA (ACIDIC) FOR A YEAR NOW, I HAVE GAINED ABOUT 40 LBS., I AM ALWAYS TIRED, BUT CANT SLEEP.
THIS SERIOUSLY HURTS VERY BADLY. I AM SO SCARED THAT IT IS MORE THAN A CYST? CAN A SIMPLE CYST LAST THIS LONG AND GIVE THIS MUCH PAIN? AND PRESSURE? I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO OR THINK? I JUST KNOW I CANT STAND THE PAIN ANYMORE. IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS CRUSHING MY PELVIC BONE AND EVERYTHING ELSE DOWN THERE. I WILL LAY IN BED CRYING FROM THE PAIN. I CANT DO MUCH I AM BED RIDDEN FORM THIS. I HAVE NO HEALTH INSURANCE SO NO ONE WILL HELP ME.
IF ANYONE KNOWS WHY THIS HURTS SO BADLY OR WHAT CAN MAKE IT QUIT HURTING SO BADLY I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. ANY HELP WOULD BE SO GREATLY APPRECIATED. MANY THANKS....JULIE

Your condition isn't getting the attention you need.. There is no reason for you be suffering like this... Insist that something is done about it.. The chances are that it isn't cancer, but needs to be dealt with even if it is 'only' a cyst.. which is also a serious condition and needs sorting.. Don't be fearful of what might not be, take it one step at a time.. right now you need the cyst to be gone and pain killers that work till it is... Once it was removed it would be tested to see if it is anything more serious.. but that isn't for you to worry about just yet.. best of luck to you and I really hope you get the treatment you clearly need and that you keep us posted. Lots of love. xxxxxx

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
