Summary at a Glance

“The morning it all happened I did a heavy gym session, I went and had a great day at work… it just shocked me that you can be so normal and then on the brink of death, saying goodbye to my boyfriend,” Ms Wilson, a developmental scientist, told PA Real Life.

Daisy Wilson’s ordeal began in October 2024 after she began experiencing a sharp, "pinching" pain in her lower ribs following sex with her boyfriend.

Ms Wilson was rushed to John Radcliffe Hospital with severe abdominal pain and underwent hours of tests, including CT scans and X-rays.

Ms Wilson said she experienced “no symptoms” or any indication a cyst on her ovary could be about to burst.

“I was trying to think of anything (the pain) could be, period cramps or constipation, but you know your body the best — advocate for your body.”.
