I'd been due in and woke with slight period cramp. Toilet visit confirmed period. About 10 minutes later I had horrific pain in the,abdomen and top of legs. Staggered to the loo and had a bowel movement but normal stool. The pain was unbearable, like proper vice like spasms and I could not move off toilet. I went faint and was absolutely drenched in sweat. An ambulance came and I went to A&E. On a,scale of 1-10 with childbirth being my 10, this was a 9. Had blood tests, all came back ok except white cell which was high. Doctor said (he was lovely) because another test came back ok (I can't recall the name but he mentioned anything over 5 was abnormal and I was a 1??) he was happy for me to go home. The pain had subsided at this point so I'm home with the advice to return if it happens again. What the hell could it have been?? Definitely not pregnant or constipated, already had appendix out. I'm 44 so poss menopausal but sheesh, if this is/was "bad period pain" then I'm worried for next month
Have got Buscopan. Any ideas?
