Pain After Ultrasound

I had laparoscopic surgery in March in which my doctor removed a cyst off of an ovary and a lot of endometriosis and did an ablation. He left several small cysts, however he drained them. I went for my 3-month follow up on Tuesday. For about a week, I had been having dull, aching pains in my right side. When the tech did the transvaginal ultrasound it was very painful. She found one cyst on the right ovary, which she said was about an inch. Ever since the ultrasound, I have been having severe pain on that side, as well as in my back. I have also had slight spotting and am very nauseated. My OBGYN is not in the office today, the nurse said she will call be back tomoroow. Is this normal after an ultrasound?

I recently have a transvaginal ultra sound and I had extreme pain on the right side afterwards... No one can tell me anything about it either... I have had ultrasounds of this nature for many years due to having reoccuring cysts and I've never had pain afterwards, so I don't think it's normal... I've also been through all the traditional treatments as well and none of them have worked... but they won't take out the only ovary that I have left due to my age (37) even tho I keep having trouble... even tho everyone I've talked to says it will make me feel better... What do you think?
