Aweful Period Pain... HELP?

[Je$$_84]

Ok well i've always suffered terribly with period pain sometimes only finding relief with someone sitting on me... that or taking some sleeping pills which i hate doing. Its gotten worse over the yrs not sure if its got anything to do with the PCO?? who knows. Its gotten alot worse since having DD.

So what do you do for period pain relief... I need suggestions... Keep in mind i have tried most things.

Thanks

I would take some of that period pain off your hands if I could!!

I used to take nurofen plus or at night time mersyndol night strength helped with the pain and made me drowsy enough to sleep through the pain.

Natural methods like heat packs didnt really work for me.

I too have tried almost everything and lately I have liked "A Little Bit of Period Pain Relief" It i a gel in a roll on bottle from my chemist.

Good Luck!!!

I think I have tried everything too.

The 'natural' creams to rub into the tum did nothing.

Heat packs do help a bit but are a bit unpractical if you are walking aroundthe shops or work!!! A hot shower helps too but I always felt too guilty to stay in one. Also in winter I would lie in bed on my tum wth the electric blanket on.

I used nuraphen plus as the special period pain meds didnt touch the sides.

Apparently excercise is meant to help, not that you feel like doing any then.

I hope someone else has something better I can use too!

I an also at a loss for a good pain relief. For some reason mine usually ends up happening during the night so makes me a mess for work the next day. I often end up with slight burns on my belly from having such hot heat packs on there!

Awwww thats no good Jess - period pain can be bad - im lucky ive never had it really bad tho! all i can suggest is Naprogesic - tho u have prob tried that, a hot water bottle and a sweet cuppa tea!!!!

Avoid chocolate and sweet food - something about them will only exacerbate the pain. Which sucks as that's when we constantly want junk, right?

I have always used Nurofen Plus, but it's not what I would call a cure-all.

Walking, and lots of water is good as well.

I know this one is a long shot but try some relaxation tapes and deep breathing techniques.
