Hi Everyone!

I have lower right pelvic pain for the past 6 months, made worse by that time of the month and sometimes it will stay bad afterwards. I have a history of ovarian cysts, removed by laporoscopy and ever since have complained of pain on and off for the past 10 years! This pain is only on the right side. After my surgeries, I was put on the pill to stop cysts from forming again and I have remained on the pill ever since. Over the years I have been in pain on and off where I have sworn I had another cyst but when ulstrasounds were done nothing was found except fluid on my pelvis on a couple of occasions. In addition to this, I have extremely light periods on the pill, so light that they are nearly non existant. My doctor does not seem to think this is a problem even though I have voiced concern many times. For the past 6 months I have been in terrible pain, confined to one area on my right hand side with sharp stabbing pains along with a dull ache which goes down into my thigh. The pain also travels up to my side under my ribs. First I had a UTI, then they thought it was my appendix but after blood tests they said it wasn't. I ended up in the A&E with the pain and up and down to my doctor numerous times. I am woken up at night with it, exercise makes it worse and my periods have been even lighter since the pain began. I was sent for an ultrasound which showed nothing and I am waiting for results of a ct scan. My dotor sent me to a general surgeon who was able to rule out IBS, stomach problems and other bowel problems. I have been living my life for the past 6 months thinking I'm mad and that nobody is taking me seriously. I really don't know where to go from here. I have been constantly taking painkillers but they give me little relief. My doctor has been telling me for years that he thinks the pain is from adhesions from my previous surgeries but will not really offer me any other relief other than prescribing strong painkillers. Has anyone else suffered in a similar way to this? Would love to get a few opinions on this...
