Period misery

First day of my period is awful. The pain in my lower back, lower stomach and down my thighs is so intense. Paracetamol and ibuprofen don't even make any difference. Bath offers minimal relief. Have had the Dr prescribe naproxen previously which did help a bit. I'm in so much pain today I want to just scream.

Sorry it's crap isn't it. Do you think the GP could prescribe anything else? The first 2 days are always the worst I find.

My pain has escalated to a 7 out of 10. I've had paracetamol ibuprofen and 30mg of codeine and I feel horrendous. I feel like I'm not going to sleep tonight. It's like someone has repeatedly punched my lower stomach.

Has your GP not referred you OP? Sorry for your pain, periods can be horrific.
