Sorry, just re-read your post and it sounds like you are saying that the cramps are whether or not you are having a period?  That sounds more like adhesions.  I would press the doctor for an MRI of the abdomen.  Scar tissue would show up on an MRI.

Scarring from an ovarian cyst doesn't happen that much, depending on what kind of cyst it was.  If it was a garden-variety fluid-filled cyst, it would drain pretty much as a matter of course within two or three months after you got it and not cause scarring.  If the pain you are feeling is associated with your periods, it is also less likely to be ovarian in nature, since scar tissue on an ovary hurts during that ovary's ovulation, not during the period.

If you are having very painful cramps, it could be endometriosis or something else, not related to the earlier cyst.  I would ask your ob-gyn for better and further diagnosis of why your periods are painful.  If there is a possibility to get an MRI of your uterus and ovaries, and/or a laparotomy to visualize the internal organs and look for endometriosis, that should give you some answers, but be guided by what the doctor suggests.
