I am a 40 year old female that I would describe as fairly healthy. Lately, I have been experiencing a left sided abdominal pain. It's sort of like having a "stitch" in your side after running, but it just doesn't go away. At times it is more intense than others with occasional bursts of pain that can really catch me off guard.  It seems that when I push in on the painful area it feels better until the pain subsides again. If you were to look at me like a clock with my bellybutton being the center, my pain is about at the 4:30 position and sometimes radiating toward my bellybutton, but mostly localized to the lower left. It's been going on for at least a month but I'm sure less than 3 months. My bowel movements are normal, regular.  I had my left ovary removed about 8 years ago with a nice size little cyst on it and it sort of feels like that same kind of pain. Before having my ovary removed, it did give me trouble with adhesions from my c-sections attaching it to my abdominal wall. This morning I woke up fine but about 20 minutes later I felt like an exeptionally huge gas pain was building but there was no gas...all I could picture was one of those balloons that you twist into different little animals....I'm sure I made a poodle!HA! After laying down for about 30 minutes it went away leaving me with my just my left sided pain. Also, I am starting to feel it while having sex.
     I exercise fairly regularly...but not strenuously. I'm 5'6.5", 119lbs. My only other symptom would be insomnia that has been going on since July...related?
Thanks for your opinions!
