I have always had bad period pains, since the age of 11. Have fainted with the pain several times, had my dad drive me to my moms at 3am just to get my painkillers and had loads of time of school and college.
Anyway, i thought things may get better after i had kids but there not.
When i'm on the pill i get hardley any pain at all, but when i'm not it's still horrendous.
I take painkillers a soon as the pain starts but then as soon as it wheres off i'm in agony again.
I usually get stomach ache and back ache at first but then the next day i get really bad pains in my sides, sort of like someone has kicked me alot.
The pain is usually bad enough to make me feel sick.
I've always assumed that it is normal but never really checked.
I did once wonder if it was anything to do with my funny shaped womb. I have a bicornuate uterus.
Just wondering what people thought really.
