I am very sorry you are having so much pain. It sounds like adhesion pain. Ovaries can become multicystic if they are encased in adhesions. They can also be "obscured" if covered with adhesions. Please speak with your gyn about this possiblility. The ONLY way to diagnose adhesions is with a laproscopic surgery. The surgeon would then be able to release the scar tissue and you should find some relief.

Hang in there and hope you feel better.
