cramps
16/f
I have horrible cramps. They are so bad I can't stand up straight and I'm almost in tears. How can I lessen the pain? I tried ibuprofen but it's not helping and a heating pad doesn't work either.

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
get midol!!! they are especially for your period so it focuses on all the areas that hurt during your period. that should really help. hope i helped=]

Hi, the question is how bad is the pain? It sounds like it could be teenage cramp. Were the muscles get larger and slide across which can cause a little bit of pain. It sounds as though it's painful. A strong panadol with maybe 2-3 tablets taken could work. Try that and if that does not work then go and have a look at a pharmacist shop. They can give you expert advice on what to use. Daniel.

try to avoid caffine it increases cramps. asprin relieves menstrual cramps but im not sure if it would help with normal cramps but u could try. celebrex and tylenol might help if all else fails. you could try a hot bath too.

Hey I use pamprin or midol.. either one will do the trick!

Try taking a medecine other then ibuprofen. It obviously doesn't work for you. Try using Tylenol Etra Strength or Midol. Whenever you feel the slightest cramp starting to come, take one and it should help right away. I've had this happen before sort of but it wasn't cramps. And i couldn't even get onto my bed because i couldn't stand up straight and ofcourse i cried. What i do, after i take medecine, is try to distract myself from the pain. Put on a movie or a show thats really funny because when you start laughing you start forgetting about the pain and soon enough you don't feel it. One more tip, when you get cramps, don't bend over, just stand straigh and walk around because when i had a horrible pain in my stomach i bent over because it hurt so much and thats how i got stuck not being able to stand up straigh. Good luck! Let me know if it works or if you need more idea!

one of the columnists said drink milk before, definatelllyyy don't. it makes it worse. try staying out've the heat, but don't drink anything cold. lay comfortably, maybe sleep. juss stay comfortable & take your mind off of it. make sure you go to the bathroom enough. don't use tampons.
-hope that helped!♥

I usually always get bad cramps so all you have to do is move around. Walk around, take a hot bath. You can also just lay down and put a heated patch on your stomach. It usually helps. Eat something and then take Advil and take a nap. Just relax and they should go away. Feel better. =]

This could be very serious. You really need to go to a doctor right away. Usually they give you birth control when it's this bad. Don't worry about it too much, but definitely get to a doctor as soon as possible.

try to move around a bit, drink some milk, get enough to eat, go to the bathroom (that might be part of the pain, seriously), distract yourself and go watch some tv, draw, or go for a walk. hope you start feeling better! <3

Since ibuprofen doesn't work, try using a heated pad on your stomach. This happened to me, but that's all I could think of doing, or a hot shower. I'm sorry, ik it sucks!!!

Same thing was happening to me two days ago.Maybe your period might be coming soon? But if pills don`t help only thing you can really do is wait one more day & then go to the doctor. ♥

a warm bath
strech (cant spell)
exercise if possible
advil works for me but you took medicine already
try laying on your bed and laying your legs across the wall

Firstly, i'm sorry that you have cramps. I know the pain your in, and its horrible.
For me motrin ALWAYS works best. That and lots of water. Plus if you're wearing a tampon, don't. Just wear a pad. Also, try being active. Even if it is hard to walk, and hurts more. Try and just slowly walk and do things, this also helps them go away quicker.
Hopefully that helps!
