Does your Pain kick in when resting?

Hi ladies

I hope you're all as well as can be❣

I was just wondering if any of you feel worse when sitting & resting? Especially at night?

I feel like everytime i sit down & every evening i settle in bed my pain starts creeping in? Even if i have a pain free day it still always starts to rear it's ugly head at night 😞

My pain symptoms are, awful pressure in my womb. Burning and Sharp pains especially around right ovary. Swollen tummy. Dizziness, & exhaustion.

Does anyone else feel the same? X

Hi, my symptoms are definitely worse at night or first thing in the morning probably due to lack of sleep due to pain and higher pain levels at night. There’s also nothing to distract you or just get on with at night. I can be Ok ish during the day then once I’m trying to sleep I’ll get nauseous or have period like cramps or a burning, stabbing or achy feeling in my abdomen. I also get restless leg syndrome at night sometimes. I find my fatigue and nausea are worse in the morning. If I’m on the first two days of my period I pretty much don’t sleep at all the pain is so extreme and doesn’t ease up (days are bad then too though)

Hi Clara12, Yep, same as you with the tiredness , nauseous, period cramps & restless legs! I get reflux too 🤢 my legs always ache at night.

In the mornings feels like a fresh atart for me but it soon creeps in as the day goes on , my tummy swells as the day goes on too😏

Ovulation & periods are evil !

Bloody nightmare ain't it x
