Hello. I had large chocolate cysts on my left ovary for the second time in 4 years, so unfortunately they had to remove it during my second lap over a week ago as it was clearly a problem area for me.

I used to suffer with a dull ache on both sides, which sometimes spread down my legs, and a tweaking sensation as though someone was actually pinching both ovaries around ovulation time, even though the issue was with my left one. I also suffered with lower back pain and now during my op recovery, I've had these sensations on my right side, even though it was my left side they excised (my specialist said it's just everything setting down as it's all connected).

So don't be alarmed, it doesn't sound unusual, and it may be that the pain from your left side is just being radiated out through the right x

I have the exact same problem. I think the cysts are formed because of latent glucose issues. I've been taking chromium to control my sugar levels, but I'm wondering whether I may need something stronger for it, like Berberine, also known to solve this problem.
