Chronic Pelvic Pain

My 15 yr old daughter has had constant lower pelvic pain for 10 weeks, pain is on right and left side with stabbing pain that is getting stronger, every 2-3 minutes.  Also feels dizzy, has nausea and usually vomits once a day. Pain keeps her from attending school.  History: Initial GYN pelvic exam/sonogram in Sept. showed small cyst on right ovary, had first Depo-Prevara shot in Sept., pain never left, went to Emergency Room in Sept. and had blood/urine tests done plus Cat Scan, all negative, saw some left over fluid from cyst, 2nd visit to GYN showed no cyst, told it was depression, went to GI and had colonscopy, endoscopy, PH probe done, all negative, went back to GYN for 2nd sonogram 2 weeks ago, no cyst, again told it was depression. Went back to Pediatrician who is trying to figure out what to donext.  Does anyone have a suggestion?
I don't think my daugher is depressed or stressed, she just wants to feel better and go back to school.

have they done a pelviscopy/laporoscopy to see if she has Endometriosis?? Another thing... get her off of the Depo!! That stuff is evil... there is a posting on here about it or google Depo Provera horror stories.

Have they thought of "chronic" appendicitis?  My 8 year old had n/v, high fever, aspiration pneumonia(from the vomiting).  The pediatric surgeon said that she has chronic appendicitis.  The CT did not show it because it is not like the acute version that causes extreme swelling and shift. She still compains of pain but the 3 different antibiotics she had to take caused infection to go away.  They will only do surgery should there be swelling in the appendix itself(thats when rupture occurs).
