Is this ovarian cyst pain or lower back pain?

Is this ovarian cyst pain or lower back pain?I hurt my back few weeks ago and my new chiropractor couldn't fix it. After 2 weeks I went to my old chiropractor and she did some massage therapy and relieved a huge chunk of my pain. However i still have cramping-like pain in my lower back, shooting into my lower abdomen. It is very exhausting and uncomfortable pain. She also sent me for ultrasound of my ovaries because i have some crazy pain in my left ovary during first few days of my period (shoots into my leg etc...) and they found 3.5 cm cyst on my left ovary. I have an appointment on Monday but till then I am trying to figure out if i still need the massage therapy or if this lower back pain is maybe the cyst-related. Also my other question is - is 3.5 cm cyst a big deal or is it somewhat normal size... It just sounds big.. thank you for taking time reading

I would say that your pain is from the cyst. I have had them before and had them rupture. The last time that I had one it only measured 2 cm and that caused a lot of pain in my lower right abdomen that radiated to my back. I couldn't even pull put on/take off pants or shoes because bending would cause massive pain. My doctor told me that when the cyst measure 5 cm or more that most patients have them removed. She put me on birth control because it supposedly helps get rid of them or prevents them. I hate birth control because it screws up my body so I quit taking it 2 yrs ago. I'm experiencing the same symptoms as you right now and went to the ER last night. No cyst this time but they think one may have ruptured again. I was told to go see an ob/gyn and see if I have endometriosis. =(

Good luck with your cyst. I know how you feel.
