I can relate because I am having a burning pain on where my ovary is for a long time now. It feels like I have a very hot curling iron burning it along with a major stinging sensation. I have a history of getting cysts on my ovaries, but I went to the ER because I'd been bleeding for about two weeks straight (now 3 weeks straight because it still hasn't stopped), and they did thorough tests. The ER doctor said nothing abnormal was found on the ultrasounds they had done and that it more than likely was endometriosis. I'm going to see an OB/GYN and am hoping it's nothing serious and nothing more than this. Unfortunately, I've had doctors and even OB/GYN's push my pain aside and ignore it. So far, ice and heat along with my medications are somewhat helping, but not enough to get much sleep.
If you are having pain that is hard to control, definitely mention it to your doctor, or OB/GYN so any tests that are needed to find out what would be causing this can be ordered. Also, make sure you make it clear the pain is really bothering you and that you'd like to know what's causing it, whether it's endometriosis or something else.
I have always had a lot of pain with my periods, and it started out with the pains like you're describing. I had found some relief with alternating heat and ice. I have been told by a friend that heat helps with relaxation of the muscles and that ice helps with any swelling. If you're trying to stay away from pain medicine and want something natural, raspberry leaf tea might help (available in most health food stores like Rainbow Blossom). It doesn't taste like raspberries- it's just kind of like the taste of a regular black tea. It doesn't help my pain, but it does help some people with cramps. It does, however, kind of help relax me, and I usually put some sweetener or some honey in it to sweeten it up a little.
I hope you feel better soon and are able to find some relief.

When I ovulate on my right side my ovary hurts for most of my cycle. Mine doesn't come in waves, though. It's just a constant ache. When I ovulate on good ol' Lefty I don't have ovary pain, just my usual period pain.

I mostly use the heating pad, and I wear looser clothing when my right side is acting up.

If you're concerned definitely bring it up with your doctor.

I hope you start feeling better soon!

Thank you ladies!

All of these stories sound just like mine. At first a little pain, then a few days more, then almost constant for 3 weeks until the burning soreness became so bad I was in a panic because it wouldn't go away. Now here I am and it has been daily pain for about 2 yrs straight. I guess endo got the best on my lady parts. Now scheduled for a total hysterectomy in Nov. Please take care of managing your endo before it manages you!

You are all right ladies, I have the same issues, comes in waves but constant pain and nausea... Vomiting also and I tend to get really bad anxiety from it. I really do think we have to manage our endo before it manages us. It's so hard to feel like u want to do something but ur body is so weak and you can't. But have faith in medicine and des who are always there to help. I hate going to the ER but if the pain make u have extreme nausea and anxiety then it's gotten out of control. Reduce ur stress as much as possible and just take it one day at a time

i have been having a constant lower right side ache since june.. i have had an ultrasound done and there are no cysts and the dr wasnt really concerned about that pain he was more concerned with my right ovary tenderness so he suggested a lap because along with that i have other symptoms of endo

I know that feeling but like you, I don't know why. I emailed my doc about still having pains. His nursed replied "your last ultrasound was good, please come in for another exam or go to the er if it is unbareable". I am not sure what to do now. I understand the ultrasound was good and there's no cyst or anything but why does it still hurt? Especially since I recently had my second lap about two months ago. It's usually worst at work since I am unable to lay down and rest.

@rohini14 Is it possible to get a second opinion? If your current gyn is currently stumped it might be a good idea to see if someone else can figure it out and help you.

When my gyn was brushing off my problems, I just said screw it, and went to my GP. It was actually my GP who diagnosed me with having uterine polyps and anemia, and she was looking at the exact same u/s and MRI reports my gyn had access to. Sometimes it just takes a fresh pair of eyes to catch something, or someone who kept themselves more up-to-date to figure things out (my GP was years more up-to-date than my gyn). My GP didn't to my surgery but she at least pointed me in the right direction.

Hope you start feeling better!
