You should never use a tampon that is too strong for your flow because it can cause TSS- toxic shock syndrome, which has symptoms that you described above!. It's better to change it often then use a bigger one that you can keep in longer!. Be careful because you could end up in the emergency room for days if you get TSS!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Were you using the right sized tampon for your flow!? I know that if you use a tampon that's too thick when your flow is light, the tampon will be dry and "scrape" against your vaginal walls which can be very uncomfortable!. I've never heard of anyone having the symptoms you mentioned above!. Maybe you should mention this at your next gyno doctor's visit!.
