I've been having really bad menstrual cramps. Help!?!
Question: I have really bad cramps for the first 2 or 3 days of my period. nothing i do helps them get better. I've taken up to 400mg of Ibuprofen at a time, tried exercise, watched what i eat, used heating pads but nothing helps at all. they get so bad i can't get up out of the chair. i also wake myself up in the middle of the night crying because they're hurting so bad. Any ideas on what will help?

If you go see your doctor he can put you on a bc pill that can reduce or even take your cramps away. You wont have them when you have your period! Works great and i just take bc for my cramps. goodluck
see a doctor for prescription to eleviate pain
don't drink or eat anything with caffeine such as chocolate or soda.
and try taking a hot bath. that ALWAYS helps my bad cramps.
midol works too but if they get any worse contact your doctor and they can give you medicine for it.
When i get bad cramps i always try the 'power in the mind technique'.
I just tell myself 'hey,all my body is doing is getting rid of the blood etc. in the uterus...its a natural monthly process...i cannot die from it...cramps never killed me before...' and it calms me down :)
Also,i found out,if you pig out and eat alot of junk food,or just eat alot,your period tends to be painful,and bloodier...but if you eat healthier,its less painful and a light period.
I found this out on my own...:) so next month try eating better and i bet you will see a difference.
ugh i feel ur pain, nothing works not even midol or heat pads, 2 months ago was the worst ever and i filled up the tub with real hot water and it made me feel a lot better and i also drink hot tea it relaxes the muscles. hope this helps!
The best medicine for that is buscopan plus

Yoga
and a hot-water bag
I put a heating pad on my stomach, and it helps me, I hope you feel better!!!
