Question: What are some good ways to relieve pain from menstrual cramps!?
I took Midol about 35 minutes ago and it got a little bit better, but the cramps are still terrible!. I woke up an hour and a half ago, because the pain is unbearable!. I've been pacing around the house, because that seems to help!. I wasn't sure if I should take midol because I am on prescription medicine, but once I found out it was okay to take it, I did!. How long does it usually take for Midol to kick in and what are some of your home remedies to ease the pain!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Take a nice, hot bath!. It really helps!. Or put a heating pad on your stomach!. Any pain reliever takes about 30-45 minutes to kick in!. I'm not crazy about Midol, Tylenol helps me more!. But the bath or heating pad beat out pain relievers!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I'm not sure how bad your cramps are, but I get horrible cramps for the 1st day!.!.I found that laying on my side on a couch really helps!.!.But if they are really bad I would go to the doctors to get an ultrasound, I just went and got one because I had really bad cramps, and I found out that I have a cyst on my ovary!.

I have bad cramps for at least one full day of my period, my doctor gives me a prescription for 800 mg Motrin for these days and it works great!. However, I have found that it helps a lot to also distract myself; if I can get busy or interested in something else as the Motrin kicks in I really do forget all about having cramps to start with!. The worst thing to do is sit there all tensed up waiting for it to work!
You can get the same 800 mg of ibuprophen OTC by using 200 mg ibuprophen; it's not buffered so you don't want to take that dose more than a couple times a month and not on an empty stomach!.
Heating pads can help by relaxing the tense muscles in your abdomen (that have tightened up in reaction to the cramps) and by soothing your mind as you feel comfort seeping in!.
Some mornings, I take my Motrin, decide I'm not going to let this get in my way -- I'm not sick! -- and ignore it, knowing it will get better when the Motrin kicks in!. And while I may still feel some occasional pains, it's not enough to get in the way of my life!.
So part of it is attitude and stubborness!Www@Answer-Health@Com
