Did they consider your appendix? Would that have showed up on the blood work? I've been having lower right quadrant pain and I'm scheduled for an ultrasound to check everything out.
But I wish they would have at least done an u/s. DH was annoyed when we left- he was like "you basically told them what you thought it was and they were like "sure, makes sense, let's go with that." I mean, I'm a great internet doctor and everything and I spent a lot of time googling my symptoms, but when you break down and go to the professionals you are generally hoping for a more thorough approach.
I understand you can't really do anything about a ruptured cyst, other than treat the pain (often with morphine, apparently, but I'm sure tylenol will be just as effective :/ ) But there are complications like torsion and hemorrhaghing, that can be super serious. And like... maybe it's something else? What the fuck do I know? Don't they at least want to take a look in there?
I don't want to call the emergency line, though. I feel silly for being worried, I guess, when they didn't seem to think it was a big deal. (At least they didn't tell me it was just gas pain- that happened to me once after waiting in the ER for like 6 hours and I felt like a complete jackass.)
