Can't say, but..: Ovarian c ysts are not uncommon, and rarely cause significaqnt back issues. You need to look elsewhere for the musculoskeletal complaints. Ovarian cancer is serious, but not associated with cysts, per se!

Unlikely.: Some cysts, like serous cystadenomas are precursors of cancers. Any cyst the persists for more than 2-3 menstrual periods should be checked further, particularly in those who have a history of ovarian cancer. You are young to think of such possibillities, but your pain is likely from your cyst, which can get filled with blood. You also could have painful endometriosis. Get it removed asap.
