Thanks for the fast reply. The pain for me is like what you said little
people stabbing with knives or pitchforks. And sometimes it feels like
someone is pinching my right ovary and other times its just a dull pain
I cant even explain right now. Because luckily so far today I dont have
any pain. Thanks for your help and I think I will go to the womens
clinic in my area after I get the results from all my tests done. And
see if the will do a lap if the other doctor doesnt find anything.
