Lower right side pain in front and back and look like I'm 5 months pregnant; nausea, vomiting, low fever (around 100), shortness of breath, extreme fatigue.  Started about 10 days ago right before follow-up for staff infection in upper thigh (staff infection came from bee sting).  Initially doc said she could tell where pain was because I have an involuntary guarding muscle reflex when she presses my stomach around ovary area.  Then she gave me bottle of Myralax to take over the weekend and said that the bloating would be gone by Monday.  I took entire bottle as instructed and of course was in the bathroom constantly.  Went back to doc Monday and had actually gained 1 1/2 pounds.  I have gained about 20 in the past 2-3 months!  She ran a blood test, CA125, flat plate x-ray to see my stomach and a CT scan.  She called last night and said I have a 1.7 cm non-functioning cyst in my right ovary and that should not be causing the pain.  She also said that my bloating is because I frequently re-use a to-go cup and am drinking from a straw and to stop doing that.  She ended with "start eating 5 small meals a day with plenty of water and call me Friday if you don't feel better".  I'm extremely frustrated.  While I know that ovaries don't have much to do with intestinal bloating, it all came about at the same time, and none of the symptoms have stopped.  I still feel exactly the same as I did 10 days ago and feel as if I get bigger by the day.  I'm 5 feet tall and my usual weight is around 117-120.  I now weigh 138.5!
