I take advil which is the only pain killer that will take away my cramps. Try taking a hot shower letting the water hit your lower back. Also heating pads on your lower abdomen can help soothe. But nothing will really take away the pain except pain killers.

Aleeve or Nuprin can help that.\n\nI did find this on natural alternatives:\n\nAre there any alternative treatments?\n\nYes. Although few scientific studies have been done in this area, many women have reported benefits from acupressure, acupuncture, and various herbal remedies, which are believed to help lessen menstrual cramps as well as the symptoms of PMS. The ancient Chinese arts of acupuncture and acupressure are based on the belief that by stimulating specific points on the body with hair-thin needles or a practitioner's hand pressure can unblock the flow of energy within the body and relieve pain.\n\n\n\nIn the herb department, cramp bark or black cohosh are thought to safely relieve menstrual cramps. Many women also swear by evening primrose oil, though no scientific evidence yet proves its effectiveness.\n\n\n\nObstetrician/gynecologist Christian Northrup, author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, also reports that dietary changes have brought her patients relief from menstrual cramps. She recommends that women can decrease their intake of eggs, red meat, and dairy products or switch to organic dairy foods, on the theory that milk containing added hormones and antibiotics may stimulate female hormones in ways we don't yet understand. Among her other recommendations:\n\n\n\n•Get plenty of essential fatty acids, which are found in canned sardines, salmon, flaxseed oil, and ground flaxseed, among other things (according to Northrup, this seems to moderate cramps even if you don't change your diets in other ways). \n•Take extra magnesium and a multivitamin-and-mineral supplement. \n•Take extra vitamin E during your menstrual cycles. \n•As much as you can, eliminate trans-fatty acids from your diet (these are found in foods like commercially prepared pastries, which contain margarine, solid vegetable shortening, and other partially hydrogenated oils). \n•Cut down on stress.  \n•Try yoga or massage.

You should start taking an over-the-counter pain reliever (the best for menstrual pain is Aleve), two tablets 3 times daily, 2-3 days BEFORE your period is due to start and continue until it stops. Also, put a heating pad or hot water bottle in your lower abdomen at the first sign of cramps. For pain relief on-the-go, you can use a self-heating, self-sticking pad like "CUREHEAT Menstrual Relief" or "ThermaCare Menstrual" (look for them on the woman's care section of your local pharmacy). Since menstrual pain is often caused by blood clots that are too large to pass through your cervix (the opening of the uterus), you can do what I do myself, and have teached my teen daughter to do: sit on the toilet and strain like you do when trying to hard to urinate; most of the time, this dislodges the clots and offers great relief when they are expelled. Get lots of rest and keep yourself well hydrated. If these measures don't help, go to your gynecologyst, since you could have a condition such as ENDOMETRIOSIS or an hormonal imbalance that might require medical treatment like oral hormonal medications (usually the Pill), stronger analgesics, or even surgical intervention (in extreme instances). Only your doctor can accurrately diagnose and treat these conditions. I hope that my advise has been helpful, and that you get better soon.

Every woman needs to find a treatment that works for her. Perhaps the most common treatment, especially in the past, has been to lie down at the first sign of pain. It used to be that many women's restrooms contained a cot or a couch so that a woman who felt "indisposed" could lie down. A bed in the school nurse's office served the same purpose and girls were routinely excused from physical education or other classes because of menstrual cramps. \n\nCurrent recommendations include not only adequate rest and sleep, but also regular exercise (especially walking). Some women find that abdominal massage, yoga, or orgasmic sexual activity help. A heating pad applied to the abdominal area may relieve the pain and congestion. \n\nA number of nonprescription (over-the-counter) agents can help control the pain as well as actually prevent the menstrual cramps themselves. For mild cramps, aspirin or acetaminophen (Tylenol), or acetaminophen plus a diuretic (Diurex MPR, FEM-1, Midol, Pamprin, Premsyn, and others) may be sufficient. However, aspirin has limited effect in curbing the production of prostaglandin and is only useful for less painful cramps. \n\nThe main agents for treating moderate menstrual cramps are the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which lower the production of prostaglandin and lessen its effect. The NSAIDs that do not require a prescription are: \n\nibuprofen (Advil, Anaprox, Midol IB, Motrin, Nuprin, and others); \nnaproxen sodium (Aleve); and \nketoprofen (Actron, Orudis KT). \nA woman should start taking one of these medications before her pain becomes difficult to control. This might mean starting medication 1-2 days before her period is due to begin and continuing taking medication 1-2 days into her period. The best results are obtained by taking one of the NSAIDs on a scheduled basis and not waiting for the pain to begin. \n\nPrescription NSAIDs available for the treatment of menstrual cramps include mefenamic acid (Ponstel). \nIf a woman's menstrual cramps are too severe to be managed by these strategies, her doctor might prescribe low dose oral contraceptives containing estrogen and progestin or long-acting edroxyprogesterone. This type of approach can prevent ovulation (the monthly release of an egg) and reduce the production of prostaglandins which, in turn, reduces the severity of cramping and causes a light menstrual flow.

You don't say how old you are and that might affect how your periods are.\n\nOne thing that helps with cramps is to give up caffiene.  No coffee, tea, caffienated sodas and you might have a much easier time.\n\nThere are over the counter meds that work well--Pamprin works pretty well--and your doctor can prescribe stronger medications.  In some cases, birth control pills are prescribed to manage menstrual pain.\n\nOther things you can do?  Use a heating pad (or one of those heating bandages that are out now), gentle exercise such as stretching or walking, and if you're of age a shot of brandy or some other liquor works pretty well.\n\nGood luck.  (You have my sympathies)

When you are menstruating, your uterus contracts (just like during childbirth) to shed the uterine lining and push out the blood.\nMenstrual pain may also come from the bleeding process itself. When the uterine lining separates from the wall, it releases chemicals called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins cause blood vessels to narrow, impeding the supply of oxygen to the uterus. .  While the pain is different from labor, the concept is the same.  If you are having a problem with it, try drinking raspberry leaf tea, avoid cinnamon (it causes clotting and makes the cramps more severe) use a heating pad and an OTC pain reliever.  I find ibuprofen works best for me.

Ask a phamacist.  There are pain-relieving products made for this purpose.   Orajel  or Anbesol might help you.   Or take an aspirin or tylenol (whatever you would take for a headache)  That will help also.

all pain  in dysmenorrhea is caused by prostaglandin sysnthesis and inflammation, that is why drugs like aleve, formerly anaprox(naproxen sodium) or cataflam (diclfenac potasium) work so well combating the pain of this syndrom. Leiomyoma is fibroid tissue in the smooth muscle of the uterie walls,  this causes pain from irregular buildup of the lining on the wall of the uterus over the monthly cycles characterized by continuous spotting/bleeding constant cramping and pain. Now endometriosis is when the lining tha builds up through out the month leading up to the period don't quite break away like they should, ideally the blood vessels supplying this tissue with blood and nutrients should receive a horomone (progestin) signaling that no fertalization has taken place thereby shrinking the feeding vessels and causing this tissue to shrivel and to slough off the inner wall of the uterus.  In endometriosis something doesn't work right and it doesn't slough off properly and this cause bleeding, spotting constant cramping, pain and a womens horomones to get imbalanced.\nNow IUDs are implanted into the cervix and opened like a dry wall  anchor, not to sound crude but that is what it look similar to.  This can be painfull as this physical objectscraps against the insie of the cervix and sometimes cases tisue to grow over the device s when finaly removing said device it is almost as painfull as pulling a tooth.  Again all of these sydromes are painfull due to the increase of prostaglandins.  if under the care of a physician and not allergicand kidneys are good then a shot of toradol is agreat solutionto the pain followed up by Aleve  If you need a perscription diclifenac potassium is good for cramps too\n\n\nSorry if there are any spelling mistakes spell check isn't working!

Acetaminophen is used to relieve many kinds of minor aches and pains, including headaches, muscle aches, backaches, toothaches, menstrual cramps, arthritis, and the aches and pains that often accompany colds. It is suitable for control of pain following minor surgery, or for post-surgical pain after the need for stronger pain relievers has been reduced. Acetaminophen is also used in combination with narcotic analgesics both to increase pain relief and reduce the risk that the narcotics will be abused.

midol...it doesn't work for me..i have to take extra-strength tylenol...and just so you know, I'm on the pill and it didn't help with my cramps.  If you are sexually active though, I suggest you get on the pill and do it quick.  If you don't want to get on the pill and midol/tylenol don't work for you, I suggest having your gynocologist prescribe some vicodin for you, but most people end up becoming addicted to vicodin.

A heating pad works wonders. Something warm will help ease your muscle cramping.

If you're really having serious cramps, your GYN may be able to perscribe soma, however it makes you really sleepy so it's not good to take during the day. I generally take 2 asprin and an anti-inflamatory like IB proufen (probably spelled that wrong) during the day. It really depends on how bad the cramps are and what meds your body absorbs more easily. A lot of people swear by midol and pamprin but those usually never work on me, unfortunately. Also, when you're able, the thermacare patches that heat themselves seem to help quite a lot. I generally get the ones for your back and stick those on my abdomen since they seem to heat up a bit more than the others.

Midol. It's the best thing for cramps, and also relax in a HOT bath, and heating pads are nice too.
