There are a few reasons why tampons may increase menstrual cramps;
  1. Tampons can expand into your cervix.
  2. By absorbing fluids tampons 'tug' on vaginal walls.
  3. Tampons can cause vaginal ulceration.
  4. Tampons can contain chemicals that cause bad reaction.
In this case the tampon had more of a drying effect on the vaginal tissues causing more 'tugging' as it was drying out your vagina, it may have also caused ulceration. You need to be more careful, tampons shouldn't be worn with light flow.

Why do you get pain down below when using a tampon on first day of your period Had baby 9 months ago?

For one make sure you're using correct absorbency - if your flow is light you should't be using tampons at all. Your cervix may be sitting lower than it was previously. If concerned then go talk to your doctor to determine the cause of the pain.

Yes. Unless you are on a period you shouldn't be using a tampon and if you are you need to change it several times a day. The bacteria is what causes the TSS and it can kill you. I hope you have stopped doing this.

If your on the last day of your period and you are not bleeding heavy can the tampon cause bumps?

If you're experiencing light bleeding then you shouldn't be using tampons at all because this increases your risks of TSS. I'm not sure what you mean by causing bumps, tampons go inside your body and unless you regularly examine yourself wiht a speculum you'd not be able to see any bumps inside your vagina that could be caused by tampon use.
