I have read all these posts with no real answer to any of these symptoms. I'm lying here in pain after reading what looks like my own writing coming from each post. I'm glad I'm not alone with my frustration, but very upset that not one person has gotten a straight answer as to why this is or what can be done. It's a very paralyzing pain that doesn't come each month with the severity of this particular time. Please, if anyone ever gets an answer to this, don't leave us hanging. My next call is to my gyno to get this checked and I will report.
