i'm sorry you're going through this. i hope it's been resolved by now but i wanted to answer for the benefit of others too. it sounds like you've received a good diagnosis from your gynecologist. ovarian cysts can be very painful and it's not uncommon for that pain to radiate or have the "pulling" sensation you described. the truth is the brain's not always very good when it comes to pinpointing where pain is originating. that could be why you feel the pain has shifted slightly from your pelvic area to your belly button area. because you have a solid diagnosis by the gynecologist i wouldn't head to the emergency room. instead you could call your regular gynecologist's office and ask the answering service to have the on-call doctor call you back (if they have an on-call doctor) or wait until morning and call the office to speak with the nurse. they will be able to advise you about what to do and what pain control measures to take. again i'm so sorry you're coping with this. ovarian cysts can be very painful and scary!
my regular gynecologist said that i have a 3cm cyst on my ovary. now the pain is by belly button; it hurts like pulling. the pain radiates down to my right side. it hurts to stand pee bend over cough. ect. when the inner sonogram was done is showed a liquid substance which she thought was something to do with the cyst. pain was in my pelvic area and has now moved to my belly button. almost feels like something is ripping or streching. help please! should i go to the er?
