Hi everyone,

Sorry for the repost, but I really would like to get some opinions...thoughts...on what I am experiencing.

Mary 53 was very thoughtful and gave me some good information on a particular technique that I may want to try (thank you Mary 53! I will look into trying the technique). But, I would really like for some more people to give me their thoughts on this......

I had a laparoscopic left ovarian cystectomy on June 13. A fairly large benign (thank goodness) mucinous cystenoma was cut out of and removed/peeled from the inside of my left ovary. The ovary was left unsutured, so that it could heal on its own. My ovary was VERY stretched out around the cyst.

I was beginning to feel much better around the 3-4 week of post-op, but a week ago I stared feeling quite a bit of 'internal pain' again. It actually feels very similar to the pain I experienced before the surgery. Most of the pain is on my left side (with the occasional right side pain). The pain is mostly dull, aching, throbbing, crampy with the occasional stabbing pain that last for 3-4 seconds (on left side). I am also cramping almost 2 weeks before my period. (Last month too)

I had my 5 week post-op on Thursday, July 20 and my Dr. seems to think that everything is "fine". She suggested that maybe scar tissue is forming. Does the formation of scar tissue cause this type of pain? Is this pain normal? How long should I be experiencing this sort of pain? Aargh...I just want to feel good again.

I am pretty WORRIED/nervous/scared about the pain.

Thanks for any info/advice/words of kind wisdom
