Hi, I am on a large dose of suboxone I take 24mg a day now for about a year and a half because I am an opiate addict but I have a big problem I have two large cysts on my ovary and it is causing me sooooooo much pain and I may need to have surgery to have them removed and I am so scared because no pain killer at any dose works while taking suboxone. Has anyone had a similiar problem or can give me any advice? Well here are some details some people may not understand about suboxone... it would take me months to get off of it from what I know and I do indeed have cysts that most likely I have to get removed and I don't like I can go through a surgery like this without pain medication. I cannot take any pain medication while on suboxone this is why I am so scared and have such a problem and am looking for any advice or if anyone has had to go through a similiar situation. And I appreciate any advice thankyou.

Some gals end up with pains in their ovaries because of pinched muscles in their backs that is putting pressure on the nerves going to the ovaries. That pressure doesn't allow the ovaries to function as they should and can cause pain there. I would release your back muscles to get any pressure off the nerves going to the ovaries by doing this: Back: (do from a sitting position) Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and find the muscles next to your spine and firmly press on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side. For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.

They need to be taken out. If they don't and they rupture you can bleed to death. The operation is no big deal and you will have two tiny scars. You will be asleep so you don't have to worry about your pain. You need to then get off all the pain drugs you are on - how any Medical Doctor let you progress this far is beyond my comprehension.
