Girls, anyone have an period pain relief remedies?

[xkellier94x]

I suffer from very heavy period and each month the pain is so bad for the first day or two. It often prevents me from doing my day to day activities and sometimes I can't work with the pain. I take pain relief meds but they don't seem to work, the don't even ease the pain anymore. My mother said asking my doctor about going on the pill but I don't want to. My aunt was on the pill for the same problem at my age and because she was on it for a prolonged number of years, it affected her fertility. She was lucky ivf worked to allow her one child. Anyone any other remedies I could try? I'm in serious pain each month.

the first days of my period are similar to yours... maybe change the painkillers you normally use because at a certain moment your body gets used to it and it doesn't really work anymore... i normally have some strong coffee which helps and i sometimes have some thyme brewed and i drink it.. kinda works too

I know pain killers could help but if you keep taking them, it builds tolerance and it eventually won't work :/ I've headd green tea and almond chocolate are good remedies, heating pad might help too :) get well sooooon!

I've been prescribed a certain pain killer and the pill for my cramps. Try to consult a doctor, you guys will be able to discuss what's right for you 😄

I suffer from very horrible periods as well. And they're irregular so it'll skip months and then stay on for weeks. Sadly nothing really works for me besides sleeping and the heating pad occasionally.

ya birthcontrol pills, they keep you regular an relive most cramps. i had severely bad cramps an this worked wonders for me plus you dont gotta worry about getting pregnant lol

The depo shot or pill can take some of the edge off of the pain and heavy bloodloss.

Warm compress
Motrin? Or some pain killer

I usually take aspirin or tylenol and I hope for the best. :/

Buscopan is good; and you can get it pretty cheaply over the counter
