Ovarian cyst rupture: If able to walk without being dizzy, and normal appetite, can be ok. I would let your doc know, as well.

Most likely: Always good to keep your GYN informed. Also, would be good to know about your menses, date of last menstrual cycle, sexual activity, contraception, results of pregnancy test if appropriate, other symptoms such as fever---- Certainly, if the pain is recurring, getting worse, etc, need to be seen
