Calf cramps while menstruating...?
You should try eating bananas during this time. I know this sounds silly, but it works! Bananas are high in potassium which stop/prevent muscles from cramping up. Hope you find something that works for you! Also...I get cramps (charlie horses) in my calves in the middle of the night, they can wake me up out of a dead sleep. they are very painful. When you wake up with them, instead of trying to massage them away, get out of bed and stand up on it, move it around and put all of your weight on the leg, it should go away immediately.
Periods/Menstruation - Leg pain, Cold feet, Bloating along with abdominal pain?
I have two related questions- 1. During my periods my legs ache a lot, its a completely different kind of pain as if they are becoming weak and my feet become very cold. In normal days also if the wather is cold my feet become slightly cold. I get severe abdominal pain also, and have harmonal imbalane. I want to know which food/natural herbs can i take daily which will help me during my periods(for decreasing the pain) and aids in my harmonal imbalance. Why do my feet become so cold, does it indicate any weakness? and why do my legs ache so much? 2. Also my stomach starts burning if i have long gaps between meals, I also have bloating problem which inceases alot during my periods and on the first day of my periods i dont seem to digest food well & I keep going to the restroom many times. What food can i take daily to control this?
Pain in my inner thigh during menstruation?
For the past three months the vein that goes down the inner thigh hurts really bad while I'm on my period. It doesn't hurt any other time of the month. This month it hurts worse. I recently had an ultra sound and so I know that as far as my ovaries and tubes are concerned there is no problem. Is it possible that I might have a clot in the vein in my leg that is only effected when I'm on my period? Or is this just a coincidence? Either way, what's the best way to go about getting a doctor to figure out what's wrong and to actually listen to me about the pain in my thigh? Last time I went in they gave me Mirena and I suffered really brutal side effects and had to have it removed...now that I think of it, this new pain symptom happened after I got the insert removed....so my bonus question is, could any of the side effects from Mirena cause what's happening now? Thank you for your time in advance.
Normal to have weak or tired legs during menstrual period?
yes, it's normal. i have pre-period sore legs now, ugh. things to do when you have cramps: drink ginger tea. take ponstan 3 days before your period. take two capsules 3 times a day after meals. it stops your uterus from contracting, so i guess stops the pain. drink water eat bananas eat yoghurt eat fruit, especially strawberries alcohol, caffeine, food with lots of sodium, processed food and meat all add to period pain. stay in a shady place...heat bad. elevate the legs. watch a comedy to get your mind off the pain. women are so emotional with pain. you know men aren't like that? you could go on the pill to ease the pain and to get shorter period days. i am on it and it's only given me a few hours of pain rather than the normal 5-8 hours. that's basically what i do.
Anything to help horrible mind numbing menstrual cramps?!?
I understand about not being able to take birth control. Keep a chart of your symptoms for three months and then show it to your gynecologist. Sometimes your insurance will grant you surgery to help ease your pain. You very likely have endometriosis, which means you have uterine tissue on your other organs. So, when you have hormones raging (days 1 & 2) the cramps are 10 x worse. A friend of mine had the surgery -- three times -- before she was granted a hysterectomy. She had a lot of scar tissue in her abdomen as a result and might have complications later because of it. The only thing besides narcotics that works for me is warmth on my abdomen. Some people get worse with the warmth of a heating pad or hot pack/hot water bottle. But it's worth a shot if you've never tried it. If you can't take the pill, make sure you stay away from "natural remedies" because they have the same effect, if not worse, on your body as The Pill. They are "natural" estrogen and progestin, which is synthsized to make The Pill. All the different oils, like Primrose oil, Flax oil, and fish oil all made me worse. So did the "cream" you can get at health food stores. I was supposed to use 1/8 tsp a day for a week, then 1/4 tsp, then 3/8 tsp each month. 1/8 tsp made me so much worse, I decided to try a dot of it. Even a dot of it (much smaller than 1/8 tsp) made me worse. Try them if you want, but they really are only the "natural" form of the hormones in The Pill. EDIT: soy is natural plant estrogens...I got worse on soy and actually developed an allergy to it. I hope you can find help soon.
What do period cramps feel like?
What do period cramps feel like?Imagine there is a war going on in your pants and it’s basically you vs you. So the only person getting hurt and the only person in pain is you. And yet you continue to attack from both sides.Now imagine someone grabbing your insides and squeezing them till you bleed and then squeezing them some more. The person doesn’t stop squeezing no matter the position you curl yourself into. Hot water bottles don’t help.For some women, the pain is as bad as a heart attack. I have friends who end up fainting because of the intensity of the pain. Not even kidding.I can’t move or work or stand. On bad days, I have to take the only painkiller that works (and makes me fall asleep for the next two hours). I wish that I was not born at all or that at least I was born a dude because periods suck. It’s too much pain and at least for me, no baby is worth it.Period cramps are a nightmare.More on that here-An Open Letter To My Periods – An Open Letter – Paperless Postcards
