I also had cyst on left side. When I had my first surgery my tubes and ovaries were adhered to my bowels. They cut all of it out and wrapped my tubes in interceed wrap. It was only four short months and I was back for surgery again. They did a hysterectomy and I am still in sever pain, problems with constipation to the point of hospitalization. My pain radiates down my legs. The pain gets so bad that it makes my joints ache from it. I have tried several different pain meds and none help much at all. I was on 8 meds and finally found a pain management dr. that has helped me get down to 5. Good luck with your new Dr. and I will keep you in my prayers.

>Hello,
>I am relatively new to this forum and am finding it fascinating. I have
>a history of ovarian cysts on the left ovary. In April of 2000, I had a
>laparoscopy done which found that the ovary and tube were adhered to the
>bowel and also endometriosis was found. The adhesions were lysed, endo
>cut out, and I was place on Lupron. This did not help the pain. My
>pain is worse now and getting worse by the day. Seeing a new gyn on
>Wednesday. I get severe pain in the left lower quadrant and groin area
>radiating into my thigh and labia. My question is this...if the
>adhesions and/or cysts have returned how would this cause the pain into
>the thigh and the labia? It is getting to the point where any movement
>at all is causing severe pain. I also have the problem with
>constipation and then diarrhea. Can you offer any suggestions as to
>dealing with a new gyn doctor without sounding totally neurotic? Also
>have been seeing a general surgeon who wants to r/o hernia when the gyn
>possibly does a repeat lap. Has any of this type of pain been confused
>with a hernia? I have no lump or bulging. I have been being tossed from
>dr. to dr. for over a year and I still have pain that is getting worse
>than when I first presented.
>Sorry this was so long. I appreciate you listening.
