I had multiple studies...Abdominal CT, colonoscopy, sonograms, etc. .... Nothing showed up. The pain got so bad that I went to the ER in April and was told I had diverticulitis. That happened 3 times over last summer. They told me that I needed a colon resection. I had a colon resection in August and guess what...still had the groin/abdominal pain. I just had the MRI that showed the cyst. I think I had my sigmoid colon removed unnecessarily... Then I started having the parenthesis in my legs. That is why I had the MRI. Have you had groin/abdominal pain?

Do you know the location and the size of the symptomatic ones? So good you don't have the pain any more . Did you have other symptoms besides the groin and abdominal pain? My cyst is on S2 and is 1.3 cm. thanks

I had pain in my lower back, that was reason to see Dr. When they said is disk causing the pain, I got all these treatments they could give me.no help. I had surgery for TC pretty quick after I found out it got bigger.
