Jackie, could it be pain from an ovarian

follicle? Some people have some pain when they

burst, but it would seem that would be monthly,

not periodic.

I have pain also on the right side for several years on and off. My

pain is not bad but it is there lately most days. I have not had

mine checked. Mostly mine hurts if I stand up too fast. Let us know

your results after your colonoscopy. Good Luck.

[] Pain on right side...Appendix??

Hi,

I was wondering if someone might had the same experence I am having

now. For a long time, approx 2 years, I have had pain in my right

side. I was told by the gyno that it is my appendix ( I thought it

was my ovary) and was refered to a gastrologist. The place the doc

says is my appendix and is very tender to the touch when I am

examed. The pain goes all the way up the right side and around to

the right side of my back. I had an ultra sound and a CT scan and

everything appears fine, even my appendix where the pain is most. I

am going for a colonoscopy and the kind of test where the doctor

runs a light down ones throat on Monday. I have a feeling the doc

will not find anything wrong, because they never find anything. I

am at wits end because this pain is very intense at times. It tends

to come and go but lately more often. Does anyone know what this

could possible be? Is there anything I can tell the doctor which

may help with a proper dignosis? This is really becoming quite

depressing because this is some serious pain! Any advice or help

will be greatly appriciated!

Thanks,

Jackie

PS

I have noticed in a search on this site there is much talk about

Milk Thistle...I have used milk thistle for a number of years now.

I have no idea if it has made the condition better or not but I am

sure it does not hurt to take it! However, I have been off of it

for a couple of weeks because the doctor does not want me on

anything until all of the testings are over with. I really don't see

a difference in the pain.

Vicki,

I have always heard of Milk Thistle is

recommended treatment for liver trouble. It may

be supportive for other organs too, but fact that

milk thistle helps means it could be liver.

I had a complete gyno exam and even a ultra sound...the gynocologist

said there is nothing wrong with the right ovary but I do have a

small cyst on the left ovary..it does not hurt on the left side at

all..the pain is on the right side. She, plus other docs say my

appendix is the place they touch and I about hit the ceiling due to

the tenderness of it. I have no idea why I would be in constant

pain and at times, very terrible pain and CT shows nothing is wrong!

Okay I forget where appendix is but just as long

as you are sure it isn't close to liver. Doctors

get so many things wrong.
