Pus in the fallopian tubes leaks out and finds it way up under the diaphragm. The patient is usually very ill with peritonitis and high fever. When the infection is treated, the healing process may result in adhesions forming from the liver to the underside of the diaphragm. These are usually painless and found coincidently. Adhesions about the ovaries however frequently cause severe pelvic pain and tenderness. Fortunately in our country we have University hospitals and clinics (eg.Mayo Clinic) where the very best specialists work. Perhaps you should seek a consultation at such a facility. Your description of your problems sounds very unusual and complex to me.
