 As far as I know he did not use any blockers. I am 32 years old and am done having children. I have both my ovarys at this point.I too had such pain on my right side for 2 years before anything was done. Only when I had frequency urinating did they listen. (thats where the ultrasound comes in showed 4cm mass turned out to be my bowel). Not sure what to make of all this I havent spoken with the doc I will be seeing him on March 21st.
