Hi there,
I am a sufferer of chronic pain, so my perception of pain is a bit different. However, this month I have been horribly clumsy, I think I've gained around 5-8 lbs. and every time I hurt myself (severely cut finger, toes, bashed fingers tonight) I am in AGONY, which is abnormal for me. Usually I can take pain fairly well, but right now everything hurts about 10 times worse, which is a new thing as far as my PMS is concerned. I am also experiencing anxiety - regarding weight gain, even tho I know it's probably bloating, and depression. In my experience, my PMS symptoms can change radically from month to month - some are "easy" emotionally and hard physically, while others are the opposite. Good luck and know that it doesn't last forever (though I have had some rather long spells - ugh)! Also - my breasts get very swollen and painful every month - that's the most common symptom for me too.

Hang in there!
