This started about a year ago and I'm just wondering if anyone's had anything similar? Every month during my period I was having severe pain in my lower right abdomen, I'm pretty sure from the position it is exactly where my ovary would be. GP referred me for a scan which showed nothing.
It stopped happening then for a few months but has flared back up during my last two periods. The pain isn't constant and does respond to painkillers but its excruciating when it starts til they kick in, I'm not usually a wimp but it's enough to double me over.
Obviously I'm going back to the GP but suppose I'm just hoping someone might recognise the symptoms so I have some idea what it could be. I do get the odd twinge of the same pain but milder at other times of the month but not frequently and nowhere near this bad. I'm 44, had one DC, am not using any hormonal contraception and am definitely not pregnant in case that's relevant
I was thinking cyst but surely that would've shown on the scan? Could it be a cyst that's swelling due to hormone changes during my period and then sort of deflating afterwards and that's why they didn't see it? Any other ideas?
