Hello all!

I'm 23 and just looking for some reassurance as i'm having a rough go tonight, health-anxiety wise...

I started menstruating yesterday. I made the mistake of drinking espresso so yesterday I had really terrible cramps. Eventually, the cramps faded but I had a weird pinching/pulling sensation in my right groin. Advil doesn't seem to make that big of a difference.

6 years ago I had hernia surgery on my right groin, and I often do experience aching/pulling pains there still. I'm just worried that this time it's a cyst due to the fact it's happening just after period cramps? But maybe it's just scar tissue??

I called the nurse hotline and they weren't too sure what it was- so i'm going to try to see a doctor tomorrow but would love some reassurance here in the meantime, as Dr.Google is beckoning and I KNOW that that will make my anxiety worse :( I'm terrified the cyst will twist or something and i'll have to be rushed to the hospital or become very ill!!
