My 14-year-old daughter was on Depo-Provera for around a year and stopped in August due to lack of insurance. Since then, her periods have become prolonged (16 days without stopping), leading to fatigue, anxiety, and emotional instability. She recently had a UTI and is not sleeping or eating well, which is affecting her school performance and increasing her anxiety. Her tiredness has been getting worse, and she occasionally takes low doses of melatonin, which sometimes causes headaches. She is generally healthy with a few allergies and a family history of female cancer and emphysema. What can we do to manage her condition until we can get her to a doctor in December?

I went to the ER, where they did an X-ray and found no tears in the ACL or MCL, but suspect some form of injury. What could be causing this pain, and what further tests or treatments should I consider?
