Hi,
Simrose is evening primose oil and there is no harm in taking it. You can take one capsule per day anytime. For PMS other useful remedies are balanced diet, exercise like yoga, good sleep and less of physical and mental stress.

Hi,
For pain you can apply some ointment. Also take calcium and vitamin E tablets, they are good for bone and nerves respectively.
