Have you been tested for ovarian cysts or fibroid tumors? My mom had fibroids and they caused her a lot of pain. My cysts can cause me lots of pain as well. I had docs be dismissive with me as well, and I know how infuriating it can be.
One doc I had warned against too much Advil as it can thin the blood which he claimed could prolong the period. Also, be careful with the Advil--I used to take 4-6 at a time, with the occasional 8 dose. Then once, in an effort to ward off a looming migraine I took 10 at once. I ended up very sick to my stomach.

Ouch.
