I'm sorry you're going through that, Scarlet but I'm really glad you got checked out. Not a good thing to ignore, as I found out in the wee hours of my 40th birthday when I had mine removed. I had stubbornly refused to go to the doctor for over a week in so much pain I was stomping around my house screaming from it until the night I passed out in the kitchen and h made me go to the ER; I had emergency surgery that night. As I recall, that recovery was easier/shorter than my appendectomy a year ago. (Of course I was 18 years younger then!) Anyway I'm glad you found out what's going on and please do follow up with the surgeon.
