Does anyone here deal with PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome? We just found out my 15-year old daughter has it (yes, the same girl who will be getting her jaw wired shut in April for 6 weeks).

When it is time for her period to start (which doesn't happen), she will get these intense pains that just kill her lower back. She can't get comfortable (standing, sitting, laying down), and it makes her cry. It only lasts for a day or two. I am assuming this is pain from her ovaries radiating into her lower back? We can't really do anything about this right now because of her upcoming jaw surgery. After the summer, I will take her to an endocrinologist.

Should I ask the oral surgeon for extra liquid pain medication to cover the times she'll be experiencing this type of pain? And when she can open her mouth again, what have any of you done about this pain....or did you even have it?

Curious mum wants to know.

God bless,
Sandy
