I used to take Ponstan, it helps stop the cramps that cause the pain, also buscopan, they are antispasmotics (sp?). I had pains for SEVEN years before I finally went off at a dr saying I don't plucking care if other women have it worse this is not normal and I won't live like this anymore! Finally got a referal to get me out of the office, had endo lasered off and the pains never been that bad since except during m/c's...
