Severe Period Pains and Weight Gain: Need Advice

Hey all! I suffer from severe period pains causing pain In my lower back, hips, abdomen and pelvis. There have been times where the pain is so bad I have literally cried very hard. Im currently on the depo Vera shot to help subside my symptoms. I have gained a lot of weight over a small period of time because of the shot. My question is, is there anything else I can do for the pain I’m in so I’m not putting on anymore rapid weight?

Hello! I know it doesn’t sound like much, but heat helps me so much. Heating pads all over the lower half of my body ease the pain so much. 🤗

Thank you I definitely try heating pads when I’m not on the shot, but the pain is so debilitating that it affects me very much so physically.

I’m not sure what your budget is, but I started using the Jovi patch and it’s worked wonders for me. I also use cannabis to manage the pain. I hope this helps!
