Hi there im just wondering if anyone had cysts found on there overy and liver and spine at the same time ..went to a&e with really bad back pain and sciatica they did an ultrasound that found cysts on my overy and liver..2 weeks ago I was brought in for am mri and it showed a cyst on my spine also..yesterday I was brought back in for an mri but with contrast this time so waiting on results for them ..I know all I can do is wait but just wondering if anyone else has had these at the same time 

  • Im just wondering if these could be malignant ones thats what im worried about ..can they tell by the mri if it looks suspicious sorry if im asking stupid questions im just worried cause the pain in my back is going on 7 weeks now and its debilitating 

  • Hello and thanks for posting

    Ovarian and liver cysts are very common and the majority of times they usually cause no symptoms. They often are picked up when having a scan for other reasons. Spinal cysts are sometimes found, especially when they are done to establish the cause of the back pain.

    The MRI scan with contrast will hopefully give the doctors more information about the cysts.

    It is never easy waiting on results and there is no way of knowing what the results will show, so try not to over think things for now.

    Even if others on here have experienced similar to you there are so many different causes for symptoms it isn’t usually impossible to compare stories.

    Easier said than done but try and take it one step at a time until you know more. Some people find talking it through with family and friends and keeping busy can sometimes help. 

    I hope you know more soon. Give us a ring if you would like to talk things over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
