Period cramps help!?

my period is about 3 days long and the cramps are HORRIBLE. what can i do to make them stop. i excersise regularily and i usualy take a couple ibuprofen but nothing seems to be working. is there anything you reccomend
Answer:
I had to get pills that help cramps...(Naproxin)...maybe ask a doctor about that! =D I hope you feel better! Advil works sometimes...also, prop your legs up above your heart so the blood flow is less around your "area"...lol...
ciao for now,
tara =D
P.S. i also take a pill called EstroStep. It's a birth control, but it helps with nausea and cramps and everything...ask a doctor...
bananas
maybe a hot compress (like a hot water bottle) and lay there on the couch and watch tv to get your mind off of it. i always get bad cramps. if you get this all the time you might want to talk to the dr to make sure everything is ok.
the pill can help a lot with period cramps.
While taking a warm bath, put a hot water bottle over your stomach.

Yes, a plastic bottle filled with not-too-hot water.

You can even do this at the TV, as you are falling asleep, almost any where.

Go for walks during your period to loosen up tight muscles.

Drink plently of water to reduce muscle tightening during your time of the month. Atleast 8 tall glasses every single day.
i face the same problem too ...
i take an "advil" pill %26 i drink hot tea when i start to feel the pain, then i sit in bed all day long, without moving!
Just take the pill, and keep urself warm, i guess that's all that i can do about it!
An over the counter medicine is ibuprofin, if you are not allergic. Regular exercise and avoiding caffeine.
heat can also help.
Don't take ibuprofen...take Midol or Pamprin. In the meanwhile, you should make yourself some hot tea and have a heating pad on your stomach.
Women's Tylenol is my BEST friend around that time. Only thing that works for me. Supposedly, you're supposed to lay off caffeine and chocolate during your period and drink lots of water...sorry..when I have it...I NEED chocolate and caffeine! LOL Heating pad (or in my case, a large warm cat) on your lower belly works well, too.
