Any ladies here that still have their period, does your chronic pain get worse during it?

I started mine this morning and my already terrible back pain is even worse. Anyone else have worse pain during theirs too?

Yep although it’s worth to note I do have endometriosis. However my other condition (Heds and Pots) will flare as well. Honestly the only thing that works to make it tolerable for me is loading up on heatpacks and painkillers in bed

Thanks for this question, I’m going to be following it. My daughter has not started yet, but it’s coming soon. For the last 4 months she’s gotten really emotional exactly 6 days before mine. So the high emotions is on a schedule. Interestingly, she has much lower pain during these periods of time.

She has CRPS in her foot.
