I always get a pain throughout my right arm and sometimes all through the right side of my body when I get my period. It actually starts just 1-3 days before my period and becomes worse as my period approaches, then it goes away when my period ends. Is this normal? What could it be?

My father smoked for 40 years and although I’ve tried to get him to stop many times and he has on occasion but now Peripheral Arterial Disease has really got him in pain all day long, he doesn’t drive so he is very restricted, I know they have been sued for emphasima before but this is new and very common?
Its amazing to me the amount of anger and uncompassionate comments that has been received. Do you think growing up trying to get my father to stop was simply a matter of doing it. He is addicted and when he started smoking it was pushed on him. It doesn’t stop the pain seeing him suffer. Our community can’t even support those who need it. Where is the compassion in the world.

I know the better choice is to see a Podiatrist but you’ve to make an appointment with one, and the wait would take about a week or more. And i don’t have more time to waste cause i’ve missed out on 6 papers of my GCE examination papers.

What are the chances that would happen?
