in pain all the time! doubled over in pain!
13/f
okay, so i am in pain (as in cramps) all the time, not just when i get my period. the only thing that helps is painkillers. the thing is, my mum and sister have the same thing. except mum said her cramps got a lot better after having a baby. my sister has had several tests done on her (she's 26) and apparently it's all in her head. how can it just be in your head when all three of us have it and are doubled over in pain? does anyone know what might be wrong?

Sounds like Endometriosis.

Extreme cramps could be anything, but definitely not in your head. Definitely go to a different doctor. In the meantime, just do what you can to stand the pain.
I hope I helped, and I really hope you find what you all have, because it must be a hereditary disease, and will be passed down to any other females in your family, and you need to know how to treat it.

A couple things. You used the word "mum" so I assume that you're not in the United States. This matters only in that your health care choices may be more limited than a private system; I'm just not sure how your health plan works.
The incompetent will put it off as "in your head" when they have no clue what is really going on. Clearly, you ladies have something in common; genetics, diet, environment, some regimen that you all take part in, etc., etc.
I would suggest that you try another doctor if that is possible, but also - most importantly, do some research to better equip yourselves to help yourselves.
Try the sampling below of the online health resources available. I like forums & message boards because you can post specific information and receive specific information. In all online research, be on guard for bad information. Try to verify a particular point with other sources. Google is your friend.
The best of luck with this. I can't imagine what it must be like living with something like that.
