I had this pain for quit a while now but today it is really more prevalant. I am concerned because I am without health insurance. I am a 42 yrs old woman that had a hysterectomy in 2006, I think i still have ovaries though. I have breast cancer running in my family. Can you please tell me if this of concern or not? Without insurance at the moment I am unable to see a doctor . Should I be worried?
