If it's not a cyst, then what is causing this pain?

[marie79]

I have recently been diagnosed as having a simple/functional cyst on my left ovary.  It is really hurting me.  The pain kind of feels like it's bruised or like there is a something hard inside of me.  I only feel it when I move around or cough or sneeze.  But the last time I saw my ob/gyn she said that my ovary felt completely normal and she couldn't feel a cyst at all.  She thought that it was gone.  I have a second ultrasound scheduled for next Thursday, so we will see then.  But my question is, if I don't have an ovarian cyst, then what in the world could be causing this pain?  The pain went away for about a week, but now it's back and worse than ever.  The pain is very specific to where my left ovary would be.  I know I'm not making it up!  It's very unnerving.  I only have one ovary (the other one was removed along with a grapefruit sized Dermoid cyst in the beginning of November) and I don't want to lose my other one!  Now I am beginning to wonder if something more serious isn't wrong with me?!

Any thoughts?

Possibility of your ovary attached to something?  When you sneeze - do you get excrutiating pains?  That is what happened to me - and my ovary was attached to my uterus and ureter too!  Ouchhh......

The gyn could not feel mine either(5.5cm and 7.7cm complex with solid mass on one.) If you have pain still then i would say they are still there.  But, I would not worry too much in they are functional and simple.
