In addition to pain I am swollen enough that people think im about six months pregnant. some of the diagnosis include pain primarily on the left side of my abdominal and in the left side in the back. I have three cyst on left ovary and one cyst on the right ovary. I also have a cyst on the left kidney. I often have difficulty urinating in that is necasarry to strain to void.

HI.
Thanks for an elucidate history.
You have IBS and diverticulitis. And this may be the reason for pain and bloating you have.
On a safer side go for CT scan of the abdomen and colonoscopy and biopsy to prove or rule out any other pathology.
CT will help to know the status of the ovary and the cancer potential and if required a diagnostic laparoscopy can be undertaken to have a proper diagnosis and may be fo the treatment as per the findings.
I find this answer helpful
