I have been lurking about here for some time and saw the post about your problem and I have an old trick that just might fix you up. Before the days of the big supplement companies pushing all sorts of crap on us the hot thing to take for soreness from training was bicarbonate of soda. Yea that's right baking soda. It will neutralize the lactic asid that is causing the soreness. It's very safe to take, your body makes it in the stomach to protect the lining of the stomach from acid. If you take about two teaspoons, or even a tablespoon, in a cup of hot water before your workout it will lessen the soreness you have after training. Thirty years ago when I was much more gungho then I am today I took it so much it would come out in my sweat and I would have a fine white powder on my body. Give this a try when you are training. What you really need to get where you want to be is large multi joint exercises. Like squats, clean and press , deadlifts and benchpresses. You don't need to crush yourself under the bar but you do need to do these regularly. Squats can be painful if you don't have a lot of muscle to rest the bar on. I would recomend that you look into a couple of things called a stingray and a mantaray. The sting ray is for front squats, my absolute fav exercise, and the manta ray is for back squats. I broke my back from a parachute landing, crash would be more acurate, and I find the front squat doesn't twick my back so much. I suspect that if you have ovarian cysts you also have some back pain. If your back hurts a lot drop the deadlifts for now and do the others as the first exercise on a three day a week program. Such as Monday squats and other leg work. Wednesday clean and press and shoulder work with some lat pull downs. Friday Bench Press with some back work like bent over rows or one arm rows. Give it three months and look at yourself in the mirror. Then smile.
Peace
