When I was young I suffered terribly. If I didn't take pain killers before the pain started I would be reduced to pacing about like a caged tiger. Spent many nights walking up and down the living room - was like being in labour, although I didn't realise that at the time.
After DC, the pain stopped completely and for about 10 years I didn't take any pain killers at all. Then it started to return, was entirely manageable at first and lasted only a few hours but now it's day three of my period and I'm still in pain. Not the extreme pain I used to get but pretty severe discomfort.
I'm 45. Is this to be expected as I get older, or a sign that something could be wrong?
