Severe pain in ovary/ovaries?

Elizabeth
Every once in a while, usually during ovulation, I'll get extreme ovarian pain, generally just on one side.  It sometimes gets so bad the pain shoots down my leg.  A while back my doctor told me I'm prone to cysts but said not to worry about it.  Has anyone else had a similar experience?  Should I be more concerned?
