Hi @medic_simmons,

I can imagine how stressful and frustrating it must be, to not get a clear answer! You mentioned "...I had a few adhesions and a cyst on my left ovary."
Adhesions are fibrous bands of scar tissue that can be difficult to detect and diagnose, and are often painful.
I'd like to invite @caligodgirl @virtuous69 @kag13 @loriel59 Mentor @jimhd @ginpene05 to join in this conversation as they've shared their experiences related to abdominal adhesions, elsewhere on Connect.
You can read @caligodgirl 's post in this discussion in Chronic Pain group:

And, here are some discussions in the Digestive Health group:
– recurring abdominal adhesions: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/recurring-abdominal-adhesions/
– Bowel obstructions caused by adhesions following abdominal surgery: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/i-just-joined-this-site-and-am-looking-to-see-if-anyone/

@medic_simmons, have you found any strategies that help with the pain?
