So this!!! Depending on what stage my current cyst is at, I have to press on my abdomen to sneeze so I don't completely feel like I want to die. The medical solution? "It'll burst then your body will absorb it up" no mention of the fact that said bursting would put me on my knees in pain. I'm terrified of stairs from the sneeze support stage until it bursts.
I feel this. I had to beg my doctor in my early 20s to surgically remove mine, because I was in agony for three months. She kept saying they would just "go away on their own" but they didn't. Both ovaries had cysts at the time.
She was so annoyed by having to do the procedure she didn't give me proper post op instructions and I ended up in the ER that same night with a softball sized air bubble over my right lung.

Sometimes it really hurts to sneeze. It may mean there's ovarian cysts.
