I used to work with a girl who used those heating pads you buy in the box, you know you can get them for your knee, your neck, and your tummy? Not sure what they're called, but she swore by them. You just stick them to wherever hurts and the heat lasts for hours, very soothing.

Medicines that Help Relieve Menstrual Cramps

* Over the counter drugs like aspirin or any products containing acetaminophen (Tylenol, Midol, Pamprin) are effective for milder cramps. There are also nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, that contain ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen sodium (Aleve, Anaprox), or ketoprofen (Actron, Orudis KT) that help to lower the production of prostaglandin and therefore provide some relief.
* A prescription NSAID is mefenamic acid which is found in the drug Ponstel.
* Oral contraceptives are also known to help when used over time.

Foods that Help Relieve Menstrual Cramps

* Fresh pineapple juice contains bromelaine – an enzyme that relaxes muscles.
* Ginger (in tea or ginger snap cookies) can block the effect of prostaglandin and also has anti-inflammatory properties.
* A diet high in zinc, calcium, and B vitamins can also reduce cramps. Keeping food on the stomach can also help to ease cramps. The body will devote more energy to digestion rather than cramping.

Other Ways to Help Alleviate Menstrual Pain

* A warm bath can help to relax the body. Stress and tension can make menstrual pain worse.
* Lying down in the fetal position
* Heating pad on the abdomen or back
* Low impact exercise like walking or swimming

What Can Worsen Menstrual Cramps?

Caffeine, dairy products, salt, and sugar can increase the possibility and severity of cramps. According to HealthMed.com, the Chinese also believe that cold foods add to menstrual pain.

Kind of off the wall and is a prescription med, but ask your doc for
Bentyl, is an antispasmodic used for irritable bowel, to stop the stomach spasming. I found out by accident that it worked on period cramps, after all, they are spasms. Won't help you now, but would be good to have around for next time or if you can get a script from your doc tomorrow and still having them tomorrow.

Otherwise, heating pads and ibuprofen, Aleve, (if you can take those meds) do help. Feel better.
