Coping with cyst pain

Struggling with lower left back and left abdominal pain. Booked a private mri. Drs have just doubled my codeine prescription but I have a toddler and struggle with looking after him on codeine! Makes me hallucinate slightly.

Internal scan showed nothing untoward according to technician. Can mri pick up more issues?

Hi. My internal showed one cyst. My mri showed two large cysts, endo, infected left Fallopian tube (I had one with the dye and one without). I found diclofenac worked a treat for the pain when I found codeine wasn’t strong enough. Hope that helps x

Hello, Ok thank you so much for your reply. I just get so worried about what course of action to take! Can't get hold of my actual GP. Technician / scan lady was really rude and abrupt when she did ultra sound and didn't think there was much wrong although she was nicer when I told her my history. She then showed me the cysts on the screen. There must be something going on else I wouldn't be in pain! Such a difficult time for getting to speak to anyone xx

Aww bless you. I completely know where you’re coming from. I had exactly the same issues. Sending you lots of luck!! I wasn’t listened to until I went to a and e. Suddenly my routine ct scan which was clear was suddenly now showing cysts and then did mri. Hope you get somewhere soon xxx
