I've been having pain in my navel, pain on my left side of my pelvis that worsens before my menstrual cycle. The pain radiates down my back to my leg. I have pain before during and after my menstrual cycle. It even hurts sometimes when I have an orgasm. No one has been able to tell me what's going on.

Unexplained pelvic pain

I agree with the previous comments about the importance in having a full gynecology workup. The workup will eliminate the possibility that there is something mechanically wrong in the pelvic area. While the workup may provide answers about your problem, it may not resolve the pain or underlying condition. Acupuncture is effective in treating all forms of pain, and it is more effective than Western medicine in treating "mysterious" pain. An acupuncturist will treat both the symptoms and the underlying condition.
You need a complete gyn. work up, including a transvaginal sonogram by a competent gyn. as there are several possibilities: beginning with Pelvic Endometriosis, Subchronic, or Chronic pelvic Infection with, or without pelvic adhesions, some kind of L adnexal pathology, including various ovarian tumors, chr. adnexal masses, etc. You might even need a Diagnostic Laparoscopy, unless the previously mentioned procedures would clarify the diagnosis!
This could be endometriosis or adhesions and the only way to tell is to have a diagnostic laparoscopy. If you don't want to have surgery, you could see if the pill makes the pain better. If the pain is still bad on the pill, it might be time to have a laparoscopy done. I have often heard women with endometriosis say the pain goes down her leg.
Sounds like cyclic pelvic pain and sexual-related pain. Endometriosis, ovarian cyst and pelvic congestion can all cause these symptoms. Have a thorough evaluation, including transvaginal ultrasound, by a GYN specialist with expertise in endometriosis.
You did not mention what has been done so far to evaluate this problem. I would recommend you see your gyn for an exam and ultrasound.
