Pain before menstruation

Hello Veronica. No link with my time of the month. One GP asked me whether there was a correlation as he thought it could be endometriosis. Apparently the lining of your womb can get attached to various other internal parts! My current GP didn't think this made sense for me, especially as my pain doesn't change according to menstruation. 

I have had a lightbulb moment after a message from Chris. I now understand my costo much better as it's clearly linked to my stiff upper spine! Waiting for a chiropractor appointment to help free me up, and then get some specific stretching exercises into my day to keep everything mobile. 

All the best.

Yes.

My costo begun with pain across practically the whole left side of my abdomen and upper chest and much of it was located at my two rib bones right above my tummy area. This is very close to the lower abdomen where you may feel menstrual pain, so yes it felt like each joint was connected and the pain travelled up to my inflamed area.

Those sharp shooting pains some of us feel around that time of month? I used to feel it in the middle of my chest. I knew it was related because it was period pain, just travelling all over my abdomen and chest area at the same time.

My daughters pain get worse either at the end of her period or once it has stopped.  I wondered if there is something in her birth control pill that helps reduce the pain.  She then stops the pill for a week and perhaps the levels of whatever is helping with the pain decrease and the pain gets worse.
