It could be a cyst or endometriosis or even adhesions. You need to get to the doctor and arrange for a transvaginal ultrasound. Please keep us posted.
I had been having a sharp pain on my left side as well, it felt in the area of my left ovary. The pain was sharp and brief and came out of nowhere; I could have been sitting at my desk or lying down on my bed.
My nurse practitioner scheduled me for an ultra sound, however the ultra sound technician said I may be requested to return as she could not fully see 1 of my ovaries. After the ultrasound, I was told I could possibly have a teratoma, dermoid cyst, etc. She was unsure, so I was scheduled to have an MRI done and afterwards was referred to a gynecologist. My gynecologist has since 'urgently' scheduled me to have 2 teratomas surgically removed from both ovaries, which I believe was the cause of the pain.
Your body is telling you something, please have it checked out.
I can only agree with the above posts. You must have it checked by your Dr. There's really no way we can diagnose it.
Good luck and let us know,

You don't say how old you are and if you are ovulating or not. I used to have pains in my ovaries when I ovulated. Now, I have pain with cysts. You would need to have a full checkup with your gyn to really know what should be done next. If you are having extreme pain, be honest with your doctor so that they will schedule a TVUS. Good Luck!
