This is very common and you can control the pain by using warm or cold compresses (this can be tricky as you have to sit on them or straddle them) or you can use an over the counter pain relief such as Tylenol, Motrin, Advil, Midol, Pamprin, etc.
The nature of your period is swelling and inflammation of your reproductive organs (uterus and vagina) and hormonal fluctuations. These fluctuations in hormones actually cause cramping around your cervix similar to contractions in childbirth and the fact your cervix dilates both during menstruation and childbirth.
When you have a headache, pain in your arm or leg, etc. your instinct is to hold it to give counter pressure. This is what I sometimes feel like doing... except the discomfort is far up inside enough that there really isn't any way of giving that counter pressure. I generally use tylenol or advil for this but be a little cautious with advil. Its main ingredient is ibuprofen which is a mild blood thinner which can cause issues given you are bleeding to begin with. I have never had a problem with Motrin on my period but you should understand this is you decide to use Motrin while menstruating.
The good news is you are normal. The bad news is it is a part of female life and you have to learn to live with it to an extent... or use comfort measures.

ok its not the pads it is just because your on your period what happens is your uterous sheds and in a sense it rubs down the wall and it hurts it happens to every girl. and their are some metication you can take for it ask your doctor for some, or you can wait a while because oonce you get older it doesnt hurt as bad
