Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in the joints is sometimes seen associated with the hormonal changes associated with periods. This kind of pain is commonly taken care of by taking a mild pain killer and a hot fomentation. For recurrent and persistent pain, stronger prescription medicines may be required.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
