Darlene,
You are welcome!! I am still having the right sided pain too. I should
go to the doc., but haven't felt like going yet...either they do nothing
for you or do a ton of tests...neither option sounds that great right
now. I hope that the pain gets better for you soon...let me know what
you find out from your GYN.....take care.
