How to relieve severe pain (cramps)?!


Question: How to relieve severe pain (cramps).?
I have horrible cramps that time of month. They make me physically sick. I usually have to curl up in a ball in bed with a heating pad and overmedicate with over the counter pain relievers to get some relief. They make me throw up and almost pass out sometimes. I am wanting some ideas on different medicines that have worked for others. I have tried advil, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, midol, excedrin, painaid, tylenol...pretty much every well known pain reliever you can buy at stores. I've been taking prescription naproxen lately and it's been offering some relief, better than the others so far. I'm tired of taking too much crappy pain reliever that isnt helping me. Does anyone know of any good medicines.?.? and i dont think my dr will offer any narcotic pain relievers bc she isnt fond with writing them to teens.Health Question & Answer

Try acupuncture if you can. It has helped me tremendously. It's not a one time shot though - you have to go for at least a couple of visits. If you have medical coverage, see if your parents' insurance company covers it! also doing yoga and stretching out the pelvic area REALLY helps! OMG does it help! It will mean being consistent about, and doing it regularly but I am not kidding you! It has helped in all facets of my life (relieving back pain, migraines, Irritable Bowel syndrome...etc). I recommend trying Ashtanga yoga because that is the one that I do and found that it helps most. There are other types of yoga that were good but didn't seem to help as much. also, Ashtanga, although best to learn from a teacher, you can buy DVDs to learn the basics.

Start eating tons of bananas they have potassium to help with cramps. also take and extra supplement of potassium the week before you start your period. I would get the therma care packs and wear them, Have you ever been checked for ovarian cysts because I was put on the pill to help with PMS pain caused by ovarian cysts. I had a cyst rupture and I fell to the ground because the pain was so bad and I had nausea. I would ask you doctor if she can give you an ultra sound to check for cysts because if that is it they can give you meds.Health Question & Answer

You sound just like I used to be when I was younger. Nothing ever worked for me. I couldn't even go to school the first day I had it the cramps were so bad I couldn't do anything but curl up in a ball. My flow would be really heavy as well.

I know this won't help you now but maybe give you something to look forward to...once I had children, it all went away. Now I barely get cramps at all and my flow is less and I don't have it as long (used to be 7-8 days now I have it barely 4 days. Something about having kids totally changed things for me. Thank God!
