beaglelover24 - First, there's no need to apologize, you've provided a lot of detail and helpful information, and it's also clear that you are interested in protecting your health and know your body well. Good for you!

In terms of your question, yes, ovarian cysts can recur, but be aware also that new ones can form.

Severe lower abdominal pain accompanied with lower back pain definitely needs to be checked out by your doctor. Until you have this properly reviewed, however, it's really not clear whether an ovarian cyst is the cause.

No doctor should brush you off as you're discussing your medical history and concerns, no matter what your age is. Being treated in a dismissive manner while you're in pain does nothing to help the diagnostic or healing process, does it?

I'm going to provide some links to information on ovarian cysts so that you can learn more, have them on hand it you need them and continue the process of educating yourself. Let me know how your appointment goes, and if I can help you further. All the best to you, and keep standing up for yourself!
