I'm 24 yrs old and have no children but i've been having this problem since I first had a period at age 14. I've been expeiencing alot of pain in my adominal area. which usually spreads to my legs where I can't walk, can't sleep , can't eat, can't do much of anything. I would miss out on four days of class each month. I've been to a military doctor and he said this is normal. I've been on the pill since I was 19 yrs old. That didn't help much. Neither does advil, tylenol or prescribed pain killers. During my last physical my Gyn also informed me that I have an inverted uterus. I've been concerned about the painful cramps for a long time each doctor I've been to informed me that there's nothing wrong nad that I'm going to experience pain. plus I also experience sharp pain in my lower abdomin other than when I'm menstruating. > please help !!
