It comes and goes. Its really bad when I am on my period. If I had to rate it on a 0-10 scale, I would give it a 7 when its at its worst and a 1-2 when its not that bad. I believe my right ovary is adhesed to my intestines or something. Sometimes the pain is there for a couple minutes than goes away completely. Its never continuous and its not so bad I cannot sleep at nite. Sometimes it makes walking difficult and makes me just want to sit down. Sometimes the pain is not there for weeks. I have had 2 c sections 22 and 19 yrs ago. What does this sound like to you?

I have cramps too, and this isnt the same kind of pain. It comes sometimes when I am not on my period and stays off and on for a couple of days.

Sounds like endometriosis or severe pelvic adhesions....The pain you are feeling is probably adhesions (scar tissue) pulling on your organs. It is extremely painful and if it tends to get worse with your menstrual cycle I would then suspect endometriosis as well...I too had two C-sections and was completely healthy until I had my first child, then 4 mos. after the c-section I started experiencing the same thing you are describing. I was diagnosed with endometriosis, pelvic adhesive disease, and painful periods. I truly believe the c-sections are to blame but have no proof to back that. I have been on Lupron to treat it and have had two surgeries to try and fix it but have had no success. After dealing with this for 13 years I am opting for a hysterectomy. The older I get the harder it is to deal with.....I constantly feel tired and have headaches....just curious if you experience that as well.....my best advice is to find a Dr. who has experience dealing with this.....and dont give up trying to seek help for this....I wish you the best of luck

It could still be appendicitis. When I was 9, I had an acute attack of pain in the same area you describe which subsided after I was admitted to the hospital for tests. The tests they ran were not definitive, and since the pain disappeared, they decided to do nothing but watch the situation. So I was discharged from the hospital. Several years later, when I was 13, I began having vague gnawing pains which seemed to be dispersed non-specifically throughout my entire abdominal area. The doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong. He put me on a diet for ulcers, and tried just about every trick in the book. Nothing seemed to work. Finally, in desperation, he decided to re-hospitalize me, and scheduled upper and lower GI's, a barium enema, and all sorts of other unpleasant tests. Again the tests revealed nothing, and the doctor had just about decided that I was a hypochondriac. One thing happened though which saved me from hypochondriacal Hades. Several days after I was released from the hospital my mother said I turned white as a sheet, and she demanded that the doctor re-admit me for further evaluation. This time the doctor decided the only option left was exploratory surgery. When they opened me up, they discovered something quite surprising. My appendix had twisted around some nerves in the abdominal cavity and that undoubtedly was the cause of the non-specific discomfort. They surmised that the attack I had experienced years before was the moment when the anomaly occurred and that the acute pain had dissipated over several days, only to resurface several years later in a new incarnation. To make a long story short, my appendix was removed along with the offending nerves and I have had no further problems in that regard for the last 40 years. My advice is to try and find a free clinic. Some major metropolitan hospitals have them. You could simply call some of them and inquire. Also, if you had a doctor before you quit your job, call and ask him/her where you might be able to go for free or nearly free treatment. Good luck! I hope that your problem turns out to be nothing serious.

You probably have a cyst. I know what you mean-- it is extremely painful.
Go to your gyno. I originally started taking birth control for this reason. The birth control somehow helped completely.
Obvioulsy though- go to your doctor. We cannot make diagnosis :-)

It is probably just cramps.
