Question: I keep getting these recurrent cysts or mass. First one I had was on sept 16, 6 days after having a laparoscopy done and d&c diagnosing me with endometriosis. It was on my left labia minora in the fold. Caused pain, redness, swelling, fever. Whole left groin hurt and lymph glands were swollen and tender. I was admitted and started on IV antibiotics which they stopped Bc cultures were neg and mass didn't respond to meds. Eventually was dc home. It was solid not fluid according to sono. Next one I got was oct 11th, same thing, low fever, pain, swelling ect, but this one was up a little higher then last but in the Majora crease again. Current one I have appeared nov 11, but on the right minora close to clitoras. Tender and red again. All last week I was having bad pains in my knee and hips, stiffness, swelling in hands and feet in the am. Felt like I was in a car accident when I woke up, when I was able to sleep, saw my doc said it sounded like RA or arthritis. I was also having diahrrea all week too. Those both happen in different episodes or flare ups. Saw my OB, he did a punch biopsy and sent it off, has no idea what is is. They seem to occur the week before my cycle and the biopsy showed it being solid. I also have cysts or lypoma on my for arm about size of pea, thigh and also shoulder that one larger. Those never go away. I have keratosis on my arms and get bumps here and there on my thighs and forearms. Like pimples, but clear fluid comes out when popped, sometimes whitish. Have no idea why I keep getting these mass's and other symptoms. Please help.

It started out small like a pea, normall they will get to the size of a kidney bean or larger. Yes, painful they always are, red and tender, warm as well. Yes painful periods, always have, and had significant pain in my right ovary, several cysts as well. Tried birth control for treatment didnt help much, IUD did help but during the laparoscopy, they found it perforated thru the cervic and into the uterus. Periods are very painful, heavy and long. The laparocopy was 5 hrs long, showing several adhesions on the right side as well as cysts in both ovaries and one of my fallopian tubes. OB told me the endometriosis was in my bowls, perineum, and ligaments. Stage"4", whatever that means. She didnt give my the actual size, but i do have pics they took. Ill try to upload them. Yesterday they did a biopsy and i have had alot of pain since, headache, temp started out 99 last night, now 100.7. Lower stomach hurts, cramping feels like contractions, sometimes i hurl over for a min or two bc i cant stand up and I break out into a sweat. This is similar to what happened with the first mass 6 days after the laparoscopy. What blood tests? They have tested my thyroid and hormone levels, both fine, CBC and cultures were fine in the hospital. Let me see how i can upload my last few hospital stays and surgery reports on here. They also did a CT after surgery when the mass appeared and all it showed was possible cellulitits, but the infectious disease disaggreed after nothing responded to the iv vanco and clyndo. I have no clue, i thought maybe they were endometriousis cysts but its solid inside and its not chocolate like the dr said it would be if that were the case. No STD, vaginal culture is neg too. My husband is an Internal med MD and clueless as well, though not his specialty anyways.

My OB did a urine culture and it was fine, did a punch biopsy tue still waiting on the results of that. They did not stitch the area, so now the skin must of stretched so it a big hole in that area. Very painful, i keep a clean panty liner on bc its drains some brownish stuff. When i had theis the first time, they did culture and labs, everything was fine. Wbc wasnt elevated LFT&RFT were fine. My liver enzymes go up and down from my GI issues. Cultures were neg, they had me keflex, vanco and clyno. Nothing responed, then they said it wasnt an infection. When he did the biopsy tue, he said it came out solid, no fluid and nothing that looked infectious. He called in bactrium yesterday to start since im having fevers. Dont have a clue what causes the pain in my pelvic area and unterus, goes into back at times. Feels like a contraction, then passes. But still achy, during the severe cramps, i get nausous. I have alot of bowl movements and feel the urge even when i dont need to go. But i do have Gi probs. SOD, papilary stinosis and pancreatic divisum, dont know if that adds to it. My liver is aching as well, prob bc i take lortab for the biopsy, it will take the edge off. Im concerned about the hole, and the pain. Not sure what to do besides just wait. As far as the endometriosis, they told me a hysterectomy is needed. Our youngest is 15 mo and oldest 5, soon we want another then thats it. Are my current issues from the endometriosis? What can i do? How do they know if its pelvic peritonosis and if there is fluid there? Will that cause they labia mass's to keep reacurre?
