Ok quick history...have always had painful periods but over the last year my periods have become unbearable (bleeding not a problem). The pains have become worse and worse, and no matter how many times I go to the gp, NOTHING they give me effects or even numbs the pain slightly. Have tried methanemicacid (sp), the usual pain killers and some really heavy duty ones which nearly knock me out..but nothing works.
The pain has shifted...so that instead of having pain lower down in my tummy, I have a constant soreness all over (which is fine, can cope with that) and then waves of pain high up in my tummy and to the right under my ribs...it's this pain which is unbearable.
It starts a few days before my period, and lasts for about a week.
However, since June I have also had 4 boughts of sickness/tummy bug with this exact same pain. Once it coincided with my period, but not the other times.
The last time I was sick (we are talking days of throwing up every 20 mins complete with the pain) I was admitted to hospital where they suspected gull stones or something similiar..but no diagnosis.
I have a gp appt this week..and really don't want to be fobbed off with 'It's just painful periods' again.
Any ideas? Advice?
TIA
