Got my period today... HElP THE WORST CRAMPS OF MY LIFE!?
Question:
Answers:
If they are worse than what you normally experience, there may be something completely unrelated causing them. Drink lots of water and avoid caffeinated drinks. Possibly you have gas or need to have a bowel movement.. this always makes me double over in pain during my period as those cramps on top of period cramps is absolutely unbearable. Try taking a gas relief product such as beano and go use the toilet.. besides that, a heating pad or an old sock filled with uncooked rice and tied at the open end then heated in the microwave until comfortably warm (30seconds to a minute) laid against your stomach can give relief, as well as a bath or hot shower, basically anything relaxing and warm. Take it easy, and if nothing helps and you really can't stand them, don't hesitate to see your doctors. It's better to be sent home being told you have gas than let something bad go undetected..
It might not sounds that appealing, but keep moving. It helps keep the liningof your uterus from sitting there andmaking the cramps worse, it helps keep things circulating. Also, ibuprofen has always helped me with my own cramps. A hot pack on your lower abdomen may also help, its different for different people.
i know it doesnt sound fun but actually working out will help your cramps a lot...
if you dont want to do that ((which i wouldnt blame you)) you can always put something warm where you are having your cramps.
heating pad! they help. maybe stretch out or something. advil?
Try taking a hot bath.
Get a heating pad to put on your stomach.
Take a brisk walk (your body will release natural pain killers. try it even though i'm sure you don't feel like doing it)
There are also some teas you can drink to help with cramps.
Hope u feel better!
yes your right. you need to take potassium. if banana not available to you, use herbalife Fiber and herb. I tell you since am using it, no more cramps. I get rid of my dismenorhea and all. I feel great even if I have. You can order that products on line. and much cheaper than banana actually. email me to learn more evelyndeligero@yahoo.com
Don't feel bad I started mine today too and I'm 18. What I usually do is lay on stomach. Or try using a heating pad and put it on your stomach. It helps me alot. Gosh I knew mine was coming today because my stomach was hurting really bad. I hope this helps you. And good luck to the both of us.
Try using a heating pad, heat helps by relaxing the muscles, also lay in the fetal position that always helps me. Do you have anyone that can run to the store for you?? Exercise also help I know it hurts but that does help. I have to take prescription pain medicine for mine maybe talk to your doctor and see if he can help you out.
i almost faint sometimes when i get my cramps because they are soo baddd. try ibprofin and a heatingpad. set the timer for an hour before you go to bed if the ibprofin didnt take the pain away. sometimes for me the pain doesnt go away for an hour and it feels like someone is stabbing me every second. hope yours arent as bad! good luck!
