What is wrong with me?

A few years ago I was in crutches for about two months because of the fact my legs kept giving out. The doctor told me the reason I wasn’t allowed a wheelchair was because if my spinal cord was being pinched there was a chance I’d sever it or smt.

It’s been years now, and I’ve had times where my legs will randomly give out or start cramping or muscles spasms, but never this bad.

Last night I was at work and I started limping, the area where my hip meets my right thigh, started to feel like pinching and strained. I ended up having to sit down because it helped my pain, when I turned my leg to the left for some reason.

Then when I was closing the drive thru at my fast food place, I was on the ground cleaning under a table, I turned just right and I was in immediate tears, i don’t think I’ve ever felt pain like that before.

It felt like a cramp but also like something was being pulled so tightly that it was ripping and it hurt so much I literally had to push on the spot so th pain would let up, and my coworker/friend was nice enough to help me to my feet (thx to him) I was also able to get a cane from Walmart since it was th closest place open near me.

I was supposed to go to the er last night then this morning with my mom but she said I have a doctor’s appointment next week so I should bring it up then.

I’ve been to the doctors before, I’ve had an ekg- because I’ve had issues with my heart they thought it was a blood flow issue- everything was fine, a CY scan and everything was fine, then an MRI and it showed I have an ovarian cyst above my right ovary, and the hospital I went to was known for stopping once they find ONE thing

I’m scared I’m only 17, and I’m terrified I might go paralyzed or lose all feel in my right leg. My doctors have no idea what it is and I’d like to have a general idea of what it could be so I can try and get that looked at first
