I have PCOS, and in the past four months have been hospitalized for ruptured ovarian cyst, the last one was very large and VERY painful, I developed an infection from it and lots of free fluid in my abdomen, I was wondering if anyone has experienced these painful misirable symptoms and how do you deal with the pain, I can start to feel the pain again, and I have already started antibiotics the doctor prescribed, but I refuse to take the pain pills again its like they shove them down your throat... I was wondering how everyone else deals with the pain... its very depressing and time consuming being down with these things every few months, m at my wits end if anyone has any ideas or knows anything please respond I would be so grateful!
