yep, i get it - and like DT, have been in emergency several times with suspected appendicitis! i have regular scans to check it, as i had a large cyst beside my ovary that they were blaming for quite a while, but now, even that has resolved, and the pain hasn't. back to being clueless, but given the way i scar elsewhere (overgrowth of scar tissue) i think it's related either to the ovarian drilling (and related scar tissue), ivf or c/section (and scar tissue) - before having the golf balling surgery, i NEVER had period pain - ever - i'd never know she was coming til i started to bleed. now i get warning for full LP...
