I don't really have anyone to talk to about band-related stuff, so I figured I would share here. Yesterday, I had my RUQ ultrasound and they found a kidney cyst, or what they think is a kidney cyst. Anyway, while they were trying to get a better look at it, they really hurt me with the ultrasound (or the little wand-thingy). I just needed to whine a bit. I have bruises! Did this happen to anyone else?
