Hi! My name is Connie. I am 31 years old I don't know what's wrong. I
started having pain in the area of my right ovary during intercourse
with certain posistions 13 years ago. Six years ago it became difficult
to walk. I have had 3 surgeries to remove scar tissue and cysts from
this ovary. As of date, I am miserable and worried. Please help.
Reading the messages from the other two ladies scary but comfortable
knowing that someone understands what I've experienced.
