What to do for cramps?

What are the best most helpful things you’ve used to help you with cramps & all types of discomfort ? The pain gets worse everytime & when I take medicine they about 4 hrs to start working & I’m not on birth control since I got my tubes tied after my 2nd was born. I’ve used hot water bags, massaged the area, even tried aspercreme with lidocaine & nothing is helping :weary:

Over the counter water pills

I had this problem I actually ended up getting the mirena for 5 years. Almost time to decide what to do from here.

Pickle juice! It sounds weird but it was a life saver for me

Had my tubes cut tied and burnt 6yrs ago and its hell every month

I will double up or triple different meds depending on how bad.My tubes have been tied for 9 years. I will take naproxen, ibuprofen and Tylenol. Mixing the 3 is the only thing that helps.

I use Excedrin Back n Body.
It’s almost better than Midol.
I take it the day before I start, that morning and usually at lunch/mid afternoon and before bed.
Waiting until your cramping can make it harder to get them under control.
Turmeric is also great for inflammation. :green_heart::green_heart:
