Need help with MAJOR cramps during period!?!


Question: Need help with MAJOR cramps during period!!?
I am 15 years old and I've been having very bad cramps since I was 14!. I got my period when I was in my early 13's and everything was fine then!. As I got older, my cramps were getting worse!. =[

I was wondering if anyone has any remedies, tricks to cure my bad cramps!. Its so bad that I sometimes have to go to the nurse at school to sleep and miss class, sleep in on a weekend, and I always hug my stomach for the pain!.Sometimes I cry cause of the pain I also get headaches and everything just downhill :[

My friend told me that drinking hot tea works but it didn't for me!.
She also suggested the hot water bottle and warm shower but that didn't help either :[ I atke pills to help but they don't really kick in till about 8 hours later! After the first 2 days everything is fine and I feel no more pain!. Help anyone!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well first of all, you should talk to your doctor!. I don't mean to scare you at all but it could be calcium built up on your ovaries or cysts!. Probably not but it's always good to be certain!.

Also-

Sometimes it helps me to put a pillow under the small of my back, lay down on the floor, and put your legs up on the couch/bed!. Sounds weird I know!. Or take a hot bath!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

im cramping too
and i was like freaking out and asking all of my friends so my friend tells me to put something hot on my tummy so i got a towel and put it on the heater and put it on and i felt better instantly but as soon as i removed it to warm up again i start cramping
try that
or eating i usually eat the pain awayWww@Answer-Health@Com

Something I find works for my girls is wild yam cream!. This can be found at a health food store!. Although you can get it in pill form I buy it in a cream!. They rub a small amount across their stomach or in the bend of the elbow and it helps to get rid of the cramps!. Hope this helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com

Cramps may be normal for you, but to be sure, see a doctor!. You may have to see more than one doctor since they can be dismissive about menstrual cramps!. Being in agony every cycle is no fun!. I use ibuprofen (motrin) - but be careful, can harm stomach!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

trust the MIDOL touch :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

eat bananas, and put heat where the cramp is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have the same issue, as does my oldest sister!. I've tried all of the tricks and tips!. The heating pads and the showers, the pain meds!. Honestly, I am still trying to find the cure [three years later] but for my older sister who has them almost as bad as I do, she uses Aleve pain releiver and says it's the only thing that has ever worked for her, once in a while it eases my pain but not entirely!. But really, I'm always the same exact way!.!. if I find out!.!. I'll let you know!.!. heh!.
Note: Pamprin and Midol have NEVER worked for me!.

Edit: WAIT!. Everyone loves chocolate on their period, and this may not be the healthiest situation, but one time at a friends I got my period early and unexpectedly and I cramped so bad she let met lay on her couch with her and watch a movie!. It was excrutiating, almost the worst I've been!. Then I ate chocolate frosting and it got a decent amount better!. Other than that, which has never worked before besides that one time!.!. I don't know!.!. sorry!.!. I wish I could helpWww@Answer-Health@Com

I used to have cramps so bad that it would feel like my legs went numb!. I used to always take pamerin!. If taking pain meds help for those first couple of days try taking them every like 6 hours on a schedule so that the drugs stay in your systme on a constant basis for those 24 hours!. If you are still having terrible cramps, talk to your mom about it, birth control helps with cramps!. Just be frank with her and tell her that you would like to go to the dr for your cramps and that you would like to try birth control if your your dr thinks it would help, if she freaks out about birth control tell her that you arent going to be using it as birth control but as cramp control!. Chances are if you are having cramps like that your mom probably did too and she should sympathize with you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
