Ovarian pain???
hello,
I have a concern, lately since jnauray of this year once a month I have been going through what I think is ovarian pain. it's always on my left side, it feels like cramping but it hurts really bad, it starts around my lower stomach and radiates down my legs, and as of yesterday around my lower left back area. Sometimes it lasts an hour to all day. yesterday it lasted for 4 hours where everytime i got up to walk the pain would start it would be sharp, and sometimes i would be doubled over. it also felt like i would start my period as well, but nothing happened. I have tried looking up ovarian pain on google, but it keeps brining up cysts, or ovarian cancer, i don't think I have either, but this pain is annoying, so any reccomendations on what to take to stop the pain.
I went in last month for a pap smear, and they didn't feel any cysts on my ovaries at all!! So please help!!!

Mystical,
I have had the same exact pain you are describing since July of this yr. I had my tubes tied in 1995 (after having my 3rd child) only to get pregnant in 2002. It was an ectopic pregnancy, so they removed what was left of my tubes. Since, I have had problems, but the worst started in July. It is SEVERE PAIN that starts on the left side(like someone is sticking a knife in you) which shoots down my left leg, back & whole abdomin. I sometimes fall to the floor in pain & feel like I could vomit. My stomach swells also. My poor hubby & kids have to deal w/ this. The pain lasts on/off about 12 days!
Anyway, went for laparscopy in Oct. & my doc found endo everywhere & my ovaries were polycystic (which means they are full of sev. small cysts). She was unable to detect the cysts during previous exams or see them on an ULTRASOUND!!! Had a cat scan in Sept. and that is when they were seen. Only through laparascopy was she able to diagnose this for certain. So it is possible that you have small cysts on your ovaries w/o your doc feeling them or seeing them on an ultrasound. Maybe request a CAT scan of your abdomin.
I have since been put on synthetic hormones-we'll see what happens. A friend of mine suggested I go to an alternative doc. to be treated w/ natural hormones. A last resort is a hyst(I am only 37).
Good luck & I hope you have found out what is causing your pain.

I,ve been having pain in my right side for about 2 months and i haven't gotten a diagnosis.I've had an ultrasound done but nothing was found.The pain i have is on my lower right side and radiates to my lower back and down my right leg.I feel it all day and everyday , I don't know what to do. Im reaaly scared about it and i don't want it to be serious.Any answers?
By the way, I forgot to mention, my ob doesn't seem to think the fibroid is the source of pain, since I have had is for several years and it is on the other side.....no pain now, but not looking forward to next month
I just came from my ob/gyn. I was there for severe pain in my lower right abdomen. I had a cat scan on Friday to rule out appendicitis, and those kind of things. Nobody can explain it. I have a significant fibroid on the other side and no sign of a cyst.
The pain is just like you have been describing-sharp and on my lower right, radiates to my back and down my leg. I am glad nobody is rushing me to surgery, but I don't just want to be put on pain pills and sent away. This doesn't seem normal.

About 3 yrs ago I was having very painful ovarian pain. It would only be on my left side. It would feel like someone was stabbing me in my ovary. At times, the pain would be so bad I could not walk and if I would try I would hit the floor. It was the worst pain ever. I made an appt with a physician that specializes in things such as this. She examined me and said everything seemed to be ok but she scheduled an ultrasound for my left ovary. The results were as follows: My ovary was ok, my uterus lay back to one side and she didn't know why and said if the pain continues some of my ligaments may be torn and she may have to repair them. I was 22 yrs old at the time. At first we thought it was Endometriosis b/c of my family history and it wasn't. Yesterday and today I have had ovarian pain on my right side. I have never had ovarian pain on my right side. It's not as painful as the left side but it still hurts very bad. I wished the pain would go away. I got up to walk a few mins ago and I almost fell. It's just something I am going to have to deal with as all women do.
