Okay, a heating pad will do wonders, as it decreases tension and loosens up the muscles!.
Depending on what pain meds you are allergic to, anything like acetaminophen (tylenol), aspirin based medicine, ibuprofen based, should help reduce pain, you should be able to take at least one of those!.
Drink proper amount of fluids, it doesn't help directly (I don't think, I'm a man so I never had to deal with this myself, just random good advice) but it can keep other things in check that could complicate the situation!.
Alcohol!. You ain't pregnant so it can't hurt too bad to drink!. A little bit of alcohol goes a long way for me, so a shot or two can help kill the pain and cause you not to care if its still there!.
All being said, riding it out with OTC pain meds and a heating pad/curling up in a warm place, is your best bet without resorting to prescriptions!. I assume midol is out of the question heh!.

I usually use midol, eat a piece of chocolate, and drink a lot of water!. You might want to go see a gyno to make sure that you don't have endometriosis or cysts on your ovaries!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
