Anyone else with chronic abdominal/ovary pain?

I had ovarian cysts about two years ago, and although they did not come back in the following months, (Ultrasounds showed none) the pain persisted. Now, I have been to multiple doctors and specialists, ranging from gastrointestinal doctors to women’s care, and haven’t found anything to help. I’ve tried herbal supplements, diet changes, different exercise, acupuncture, birth control, and not found any relief. Any suggestions from women with the same problem?
I went to my doctor, when I started experiencing ovary, pelvic and abdominal pain. She told me to alternate an anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen with a pain killer such as tylenol. So for instance one dose would be one, and then the other dose would be another. I have also found that when I massage lightly over the area that also helps. Also when I was having the extreme pain in my abdomen/pelvic area, I found that also deep breathing similar to that done in pregnancy was also very helpful at easing the pain. Also, I was told to take a mild laxative which allowed for no straining to happen when I had to do a bowel movement. See if these help you. Feel free to email me if you would like to talk more.
I’ve been looking around theovariancystcure.com and really am impressed by the terrific content here. I work the nightshift at my job and it really gets boring. I’ve been coming here for the previous couple nights and reading. I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been enjoying what I’ve seen and I look forward to reading more.
