Me personally, I’ve always had very painful periods. I’m talking like, I have tried different very powerful painkillers and even a high dose of them and they do not help. I have painful periods that also numb my legs, and it feels like I’ve been to gym and done a leg day for 3 hours straight allthough I always bleed very light. Is this normal? Like genuinely sometimes it is so bad I can’t even go anywhere. The first 2 days are so bad all I can do is just lay in pain hoping for the painkillers to work (they don’t) until I “drift off” into sleep. I feel like nothing helps, this isn’t sudden, It is always been like this but I feel like it is worsening over time. I do not wanna try birth control or any that type of stuff for my periods.
