see my post from yesterday. i too have had pain. it doesn't sound like
mine is as severe as yours. it's only been there about 3 months. it's
sharp, on and off through the day, everday. we're still in the process
of dignosising it but i sound a lot like pcos right now. my dr. gave
me bextra for the pain. it's an anti-inflammatory. it has helped a
good deal. the ovary on the side with the pain is enlarged so it may be
due to that.
