Whenever I have my period, I get pain in the front of my thighs, almost like it's a pain in my veins. It comes and goes during the heaviest days of my period and every once in a while on days when I don't have it, though not as painful. I'm in my 40's and this just began a couple of years ago. Thanks!

I get that too. Part of it can come from lack of iron or potassium. Taking and extra iron and potassium pill should help. During our periods we loose some of that iron and potassium through the discharge. Any women that is still having a period should always take extra iron. That will also help with the fatigue. It may take a month or so for it to help. Avoid salt and caffeine that will help too.

During the woman's period, there is a change of hormones (remember your estrogen and progesterone). With this, the body is experiencing hypocalcimea or a low calcium level count which is important in bone building (the reason also why woman at their late 30's should start taking high-calcium milk because we are more prone to Osteoporosis. The pain ois more of the bones adjusting to low level of calcium.Hope this helps. God bless

bloating causes excess pressures on your arteries. You have a main artery in the front of both of your thighs, which connects into one and goes up the center of your abdomen. If there is pressure on the artery, it can cause pain all the way down.

I believe Endo could also be a cause
