PLEASE HELP: Relief for extreme menstrual pain with muscle cramps?

I am 23 years old, and since the begining of my menstrual cycle I have not only had extreme pain that can keep me in bed for days at a time in tears, but on top of that I also have muscle cramps in my legs as well. I have gone to the doctor and he just advices me to take some Tylenol, Midol, or Advil ~ which has not worked. Is there any relief for this pain?

Try using a heating pad on your abdomen. I have found that only pamprin works for my pain. A vitamin B supplement can help with mood swings and calm some of the pain as well. If you use tampons, try using pads instead somewomen’ss body cannot tolerate a tampon. Walking can actually relieve a lot of the pain especially in you legs, so when the pain is really bad walk a few brisk laps around the house.

If none of this works to relieve any of the pain I think you should make another appointment with your doctor and STRESS that you are in severe pain and need some help! Many different kinds of birth control can help with pain and you may also have a lighter cycle. I never suggestusingg medication to cover up the problem but if you truly are in severe pain and have tried everything else then by all means.. Just be sure to check any side effects and allergic reactions and be sure only to take the minimum amount required so long as it works well for you. Good Luck!
