Severe pain!!

[Emma-louise]

Hi ladies, hoping someone can offer some advice!!

This is my first period since coming off my pill on the advice of my consultant! It is ridiculously painful - I've already taken lots of Paracetamol, Codeine and also Diclofenac! It hasn't even touched the pain!! I also have a scalding hot water bottle (have ended up scarring my belly/top of legs)

Im really worried about having to go to the walk in centre to get pills - i always feel like people hear the words 'period pain' and just assume its nothing! but i feel nauseous and sick from the pain!!

I have my lap due for 11th June thankfully, but I'm in so much pain

I really hope someone can offer some help!!

Thanks

Emma Xx

Emma I was the same earlier this month, I was taking Microgynon back to back, stopped it as due lap (now lap not for a few months!) I ended up collapsing with the pain went to emergency doc they sent me to A&E as my BP was very high and they were more concerned about a stroke happening than my pain.

I'm now not allowed back on the combined pill on BP meds and trying to take it easy. I ended up going home and spending 2 days on bed with Cocodamol and Buscopan, I'm not allowed anti inflammatories and I can't tolerate strong codiene I just had to get through it (badly!), I'm due AF this week and absolutely dreading it.

Anyhows! Pls speak to doc and see if they can give you something stronger. IIRC you need to take anti inflammatories before the bleeding starts and keep taking them, diclofenac can be very hard on your stomach, be careful.

I hope you get some relief before your lap x

Thanks Jabster, I finally found relief from the diclofenac and the codeine though which is good. Just after weeks of having normal cramps, to then have that amount of pain was just awful! Going to see my gp some time this week hopefully!

Hard on my stomach how? As in bowel movements?

Thanks for your help Xx

Thank you I was told with docs that you van take buspan with paracetmol and ibprofen. I been using it to top up my medicine in-between the 4 hrs of tramadol. Buspan great for period type symptoms. Good luck with everything Hun, give them a go x
