I urgently need suggestions for helping treat a friends wife who had her first pfizer shot and is now having massive pain coupled with extended period bleeding. Suggestions or relevant posts welcome.

Diagnostics — Immediate
Don’t go blind, get a CBC (Complete Blood Count) test immediately - if you go to a properly equipped ER, they can get it done in an hour or so. It’ll also be much more accurate. Most hospital ERs should be ok. Be vocal.
Look at the results,
Red Blood Cells — any on the low end? What are the ranges? She may be losing more blood than usual. Good to know these numbers as a baseline.
Hemoglobin — (as above)
Hematocrit — (as above)
Platelets — this number might be high as the body thinks it’s bleeding (which it is), this needs to be kept in check or blood clots will form all over the body (silent killer).
WBC (White Blood Count) — get a read as a baseline, any on the high end? Depending on which value, a class of pathogenic load can be identified. It’s not absolute, but it’s good insight for where to dig.
Also, while at the ER, jot down her SpO2 levels (oxygen saturation levels) and her Blood Pressure. Go on Amazon and buy an Oxymeter … they are cheap.
Diagnostics — as soon as able
These will take time, but ask primary care doc (if he pushed the vaxx, fire him go elsewhere OR go see a ND, Naturopath) for additional blood tests — Vit D, Anion Gap, CO2, Ammonia, Uric Acid, Inflammation markers (CRP is a good one), Thyroid, Ferritin.
These will provide a better picture if there are specifics imbalances in the blood chemistry that may be causing pain.
You didn’t mention what kind of pain, is it localized? Systemic, etc?
If systemic, good to know of her tissues are getting enough oxygen otherwise they will go into an anabolic state, producing lots of lactate / lactic acid. If there is an overgrowth of a pathogen, for example Candida… it may be producing too much Ammonia in the blood (all painful).
Additionally buy some pH strips or get a pocket pH meter an Amazon and start measuring her urine pH. First pee in the morning and a maybe once during the day. Use the pH strips for her saliva — we’re looking to see if her ‘blood’ pH is normal. The blood will always be in a solid range (or she’ll die) but the urine and saliva gives a good indicator of her body is robbing buffering agents from tissues, etc.
** To do immediately **
The most critical at this point is to stop any potential blood clot formation… this is especially dangerous during the time of the month, with her prolonged period bleeding the body will try to produce more clotting agents (platelets, this is an assumption at this point, get the CBC).
2 possible paths…
(1) Blood thinners — aspirin (aspirin only), kid dose only. However, this is dangerous if she is still on her period. Look at the CBC to make a decision.
(2) Natural supplements and foods…
Curcumin - Designs for Health has a good one called Curcum-Evail, you can get it on Amazon, it’s pricey but worth it.
Eat foods to help with iron loss,
Good quality protein,
Lots of hydration (no tap water or Gatorade please) — ensure she has good electrolyte balance. Make a cocktail of magnesium chloride, potassium bicarbonate and sodium chloride aka Salt (a little will do).
No Sugar, No Wheat / Gluten, No Diary, No simple carbs,
Lots more I can list, but need a lot more info.
Godspeed.
