what is the best medicine/pills for mentrual pains (im 13 and overweight if that matters) (link)
|
Well... ironically, the docs say to stay away from caffine - sodas, sports drinks, coffee etc., but Midol has caffine in it. What's up with that?
Pills : Aleve, Ibuprofen, Tylenol. I've never used Midol or Pamprin...
Take a hot bath.
Place a heating pad on the cramping area.
Walk for fifteen minutes or so.
Ride a horse [if you can]. This is my favorite. Not only because I love to ride, and love horses, it really helps the cramps.
Basically, any exercise will help the cramps go away. Swimming is good, but I understand that right now - in the winter - it's probably hard to go swimming... ;-)
Eat warm foods. Not spicy - that doesn't help me, only makes it worse - but warm rice, soup, etc. Fruits and veggies [all the time, of course, but especially now]. Lots and lots and lots of water.
It helps me to sleep either without a pillow or on the floor.
