Pain in right side of pelvis every month

Have any of you ever experienced this type of pain.

Every month, just a few days after my period has stopped I have a pain on the right side of my pelvis, very low down, on the pelvic bone. The area feels sore and bruised and sometime a little swollen.

This pain last for up to a week, sometimes it is a dull ache that is hardly noticeable, but other times - like the past week it can be quite painful.

It is easy enough to manage with hot water bottles and painkillers, but I am wondering if it is anything I need to see the doctor about (I should mention now that I have a bit of a phobia with doctors and hospitals - I know how silly that sounds!!!) and then a few days before my period is due, everything changes and the pain/swelling disappear. When the pain is there it is very painful to touch but now the pain has gone again I can poke and prod the area and feel nothing!!

Last month there was hardly and pain and I was beginning to think I was over it - only to find it much worse this month.
