Thanks so much D.N., Holly,Kim and Anonymous for your replies to my
question.
D.N.: Where do you think the pain might be tansferred or referred from?
I also forgot to mention that when things get nasty like this, it hurts
(sharply, especially around my navel) when I exhale, but of course not
every time.
Holly, Kim and Anon: Thanks for your insight. If any of you ever find
out what causes this, would you please let me know? I don't post a lot,
but I'm around. I have a hard time telling what my cycle is (or even if
I still have one) as I'm perimenopausal, and I've had an endometrial
ablation and therefore I don't bleed. Prior to the ablation I was
ovulating sporadically, and this pain seems to be spread throughout the
month.
Thank you all so much again. Wishing everyone pain free moments, hours
and days.
