Intense discomfort

I normally wear tampons, but as of this morning I woke up in immense discomfort. I couldn’t sit up but I had to go to the bathroom to change my tampon. And after I took out my tampon an did my business, the thought of putting in a new tampon made me want to cry because of how much pain I’m in. And now I’m wearing pads. But I guess my question is, has anyone els that on the reg wears tampons, ever experienced such intense mensuration cramps/discomfort that you feel if you put a tampon in, that your discomfort will get 10 worse. I myself have a super high pain tolerance, but I’m in so much pain that I fell like I’m going to throw up. I just? I want to see if any of you other ladies have experienced something along these lines. And what advice you’d give? I’ve had my period since I was 10, and I’m 17 now. So I’ve been around the block a bit. But I’ve never felt anything like this before. Please advise 🙏🏼
