Have pain like never before...
Hi,
I'm currently having tests done right now 'cause I might have PCOS. My periods have been soooo irregular for the last 6 months, none for 100 days then back on schedule but very heavy and soooo painful.... I never had pain like that before, my periods never bothered me before, were very light and only lasted 3-4 days max. But now it lasts up to 7 days and heavy for at least 4 days. I am anemic and take Iron twice a day but I feel so weak during my period. I am not used to so much pain. Except for Tylenol, what else should I take for pain?
BTW, I'm still pre-op and should get VSG sometimes this year.
Thanks
Anne

I'm 5'6" VSG October 13th, 2011 with Dr.Atlas at Sacre Coeur.
I think different things work for different people.
I used to use a prescribed does of Naproxen Sodium.
I guess fortunately and unfortunately I learned to live with the pain because at any given time on an ultrasound I have 6 or more cysts on each ovary.
Now I do have episodes every now and again where the cyst decides to become a golf ball, a tennis ball and even became a soft ball once. So in those situations they will give me the hard stuff. But bottom line I would go to a doctor that is VERY experienced in diagnosing and treating this disorder so they can help you in any way they can.
Good luck and I am sorry you are in pain and there are many many ladies who know how you feel.

Hello,
My NP told me to use 800mg of Ibuprophen (Advil) not only because of the insane pain I have but because it actually decreases your blood flow. From extreme heavy to moderate for me. I never use Advil during the other days of the month because it is such a large amount. Because of other issues I'm usually at a 6 on the pain scale but during my periods I truly wish I were dead, the 800mg Advil works! I don't think Tylenol will work with the bld flow issues, I never take it because it makes me very ill.
Hope it helps,
Chrissy
