go the pharmacy and buy those wheat filled bags that you can heat in the microwave. you place it in the microwave for 2 minutes, comes out feeling nice and warm and place it on the area thats troubling you. its great - works for stomach pains, headaches and muscle pain.
alternatively you could run yourself a hot bath, use a hot water bottle or wet a towel with hot water
Take a warm bath. Some pain reliever.
For secondary dysmenorrhea, you'll need treatment for the underlying cause. Depending on that cause, treatment could include antibiotics to treat infection or surgery to remove fibroids or polyps or to treat endometriosis.
You may be able to reduce your discomfort from dysmenorrhea by using an over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) or naproxen (Aleve). Self-care strategies also may help relieve discomfort. For severe cramping, your doctor might recommend low-dose oral contraceptives to prevent ovulation, which may reduce the production of prostaglandins and therefore the severity of your cramps.
You can try a number of self-care strategies to reduce the discomfort of primary dysmenorrhea. Once the pain begins, soaking in a hot bath or using a heating pad on your abdomen may ease your cramps. You can also make some lifestyle changes to improve your overall health and possibly decrease the severity of your cramps. Try these tips:
Exercise regularly. Exercise results in an increased release of endorphins, your body's natural painkillers.
Get adequate rest. Your body may be less vulnerable to pain when you're well rested.
Some women find relief through massage, yoga or meditation, all stress-relieving activities that may help to lessen pain and aren't likely to harm you. Some women find acupuncture helpful for pain relief.
Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or naproxen sodium might help. Try to stay away from the Tylenol, as it doesn't have the same ingredients and it isn't as effective in blocking the pain producer. Also, I've heard banana's have some chemical in them that's supposed to help. Along with that I'd recommend one of those thermacare heatwraps. There's all sorts of different ones and if sitting infront of the heater helps, then these things will definitely help. They're like mini heaters that you can walk around with.
when you have cramps don't take a bath or go immerse yourself in water
salt works just place some under your tongue.it tastes bad but helps
well if you talking about menstrual cramps there are quite a few things that can help.ask your Dr. for 800mg Motrin not only will this help with cramps but it will also slow down heavy bleeding.a heating pad on your stomach,walk it off,yoga can provide exceptional pain relief,calcium tablets helps maintain normal muscle tone and helps prevent cramps and pain(about 80mgs a day), and magnesium tablets or foods that contain a lot of magnesium like beans,whole grans like buck wheat or whole wheat flour foods, salmon,shrimp,tofu,veggies, and nuts.i myself take potassium and magnesium tablets ask your Dr. what the right dose would be for you.hope this helps and Hope you find relief and feel better.
lay on your back,
heating pad on lower tummy
ankles crossed

also.. take something like advil gel cap or ibprophen. (always take with a little food).
