Very odd Period Pain

[goldilocksandmylittlebear]

I have sharp shooting pains through my vagina and anal area. They only last a few seconds. They build and peak like labour pains. I feel very swollen and tight. Say I'm in the kitchen and I'll feel it coming on I have time to brace myself.
Has anyone else experienced this kind of unbearable pain? Does anyone have an idea about what that could be? I have had tests for endometriosis (sorry spelling?) and nothing was found. I have had this for years!

I too suffer from this, have done for yrs.

I got investigated for endo and polyps etc but nothing.

It feels like someone is ramming a sharp needle up my jacksy.

Sometimes I have to sit down or I might just pass out.

Thank goodness someone who's what I'm talking about! I've noticed its worse the first 2 days of my period?

my sis gets it too

is weird, to have pains up ya bum

Not just up ya bum! Everything feels swollen!

Does your sister know what causes it?

no, she has just put up with it for yrs, like me

I genuinely feel it is nothing to worry about, just very painful and debilitating for a day or two

Those symptoms do sound awfully familiar and I note also they are long standing. Any symptom that is cyclical and gets worse during menstruation can be due to endo.

What tests did you have done for endometriosis?. I ask this as anything short of a keyhole surgery operation called a laparoscopy will not detect endometriosis if it is there.

Would urge you to visit your GP and request a gynae referral.

thanks for your thoughts attila

I had a laparoscopy, they found nothing!
