Guest guest Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Hi Ann, Thank you for asking this question. I know this was in August, but I just got to checking my emails. I have suffered with this lower right side (sometimes left side) pain for several years. I just feel like I am going to die when it comes! I was so confused as to what it could be, as I am overweight (so it is hard for me to palpate precisely) and wasn't sure if it was digestive, reprodutive, bladder or what. It happens about every 6 weeks, but all my mito issues cycle roughly every 6-7 weeks. I also notice it lasts anywhere from 1 week to about a month. I don't' notice it getting worse when I press, and ususally take Advil or Rx Valium to stop the pain and V is what I use for all muscle cramps. So far, it works OK. I did consider that it might be PCOS. I heard about PCOS on a TV show and am looking into asking my OB/GYN about it. In the meantime, I am going to do the simplest thing I saw of all the responses, I am going to try the B-complex. I will post if it helps. I have had frequent urination for 11+ years and it is running/ruining my life! I don't know if the two are connected, but also appreciate all the members of the various groups giving inf. so I too can check some things out that I never heard of before. I have been tested for UTI, only had it once. One doc also tried to tell me it was 'stress'. I nearly kicked his but, but instead I just told him there would be no stress if there was no frequent urination. ugh! I have suspected the pain and frequent U to be mito-related, but only after your question did I realize how many have this issue. Sorry for rambling on....I hope you find a solution, and me too!

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 I get ovulation pain like this. the last time i ovulated (when i got pregnant in May) I actually almost went to the ER, as I thought it was my appendix. I have had episodes like this since I was a young teenager, and have actually been hospitalized twice on the suspicion of appendicitis, however it always passes, and i have figured out by charting my ovulation cycles that it always happens the day of ovulation... so im certain this is what the cause is. It hasnt impaired my fertility in any way (I have gotten pregnant very quickly both times), and seems to be of no consequence, however its probably worth asking for an ultrasound for as it can also be a sign of an ovarian cyst (which can be extremely painful, and sometimes dangerous if it bursts...) hth!
