Pain With No Answers

Well, today was my appointment with GYN to see about the ovarian cysts that have been causing problems for 20+ years, including causing a shunt malfunction or two. My current pain has had me doubling over since Saturday. Apparently, what they told me Sunday morning is NOT what they put in my chart. Sunday, they told me I had another cyst, but my chart says "a pocket of fluid." GYN is saying she thinks the pain is too high to be an ovarian cyst, and that she thinks the "pocket of fluid" is from the shunt surgery. I asked "If that's the case, why was the post-op pain almost gone, then this pain spiked the day my hormone levels changed?"

So, she is putting me on birth control. Possible side effects... cysts or clots 🤦‍♀️
