I'm having extreme pain in my lower left abdomen, almost daily now. I've had it for a while, a few months i'd say, and now it's gotten to the point that sometimes it hurts to stand up. It hurts when I push gently on my abdomen, almost directly inward from my hipbone. This pain intensifies during and then after sex. I read up on some things, and these were the symptoms of things such as cysts.. I"m making an appt tomorrow to get it checked out, but I was wondering, has anyone had something like this before? How worried should I be? I've been up a while worrying about it.... If you could give me your input it'd be great, thanks.
