Dawn, Sorry to hear about your pain. Has your doctor ever mentioned Endometriosis? I started having pain in my lower left side after my second child was born. I was also told by many doctors that I had cysts. After going to many doctors a laproscopy was done and I had Endo. Also, is it possible you have adhesions? Some doctors say they are not painful, but I am here to tell you they are. These are just some possibilities. I hope you can find your answer soon. >
