I found out I had an ovarian cyst last month (I don't know what size or kind). I went to the ER with pain in my right side thinking it was my appendix, but there was no infection in my blood. It turned out to be a cyst on my right ovary instead. I've never had children or been on any form of birth control (even though I'm 25), so it was my first pelvic exam and ultrasound. Fun times. Since then, I've had three periods every 2 weeks with stabbing pain so bad that I've actually cried into my pillow even after taking advil, etc. The ER referred me to an OBGYN and said that I could be seen once for free since I was without insurance at the moment. However, the specialist said it would be $185 for just an office visit. I can't do that. So, I made an appointment with my clinic even though they don't have a specialist like that there, and I have no idea if there's even anything they can do to help. If they aren't able to help me and this continues, should I try going back to the ER? Do you think they would just send me home to suffer? :c I feel stranded.
