Help about ovarian cyst problem?

a few months ago i was having and started gettin a pain in my lower abdomen and got chills.. minutes later i felt like i had to puke, starting sweating, and the pain became horrible.. this lasted about 30 mins.. we went to the emergency room and all they said was that it was a urinary track infection.. which i get those often so i knew that wasnt what my pain was from. About 3 months later i get the same pain and same symptoms but its worse and lasted a whole lot longer.. the pain is unbearable and all i can do is just lay there and not move or it will worsen. I go to the doctor and they send me to the ER.. they take x rays and tell me they found a small ovarian cyst in my right ovary.. but all my pain was in the left.. all he did was give me a prescription for pain. does that mean im just gonna have to deal with this pain every time it happens? my grandmother told me she had ovarian cysts which would burst and cause the pain im describing and she said it lasted all through her teenager years till she hit menopause, so is that whats happening to me?
