I get really bad cramps after my period what should i do?

Question

it dosent happen often but when it does its after my period and tylenol and other painkillers dont seem to help, what's your advice, ?

Answer 1

If you are regular you should watch your sugar and caffiene intake 4 to 6 days before you start. Also increase your water intake or all natural juice like Bolthouse drinks, sold at Wal Mart in the Veggie section. Walk first thing after waking or do some kind of light exercise. If you are one to get cranky during this time you will see a difference in that as well. I promise this will work.

Answer 2

Well if it's regular cramps, watch you're salt intake. Salt effects the intenseness of the cramps. I'm noticed when I've had more salt the cramps are worse. Mydol is the best I know of to help with the pain.

Answer 3

Amazingly enough, I found a very good cure for Leg cramps...other than drinking water, or making sure you are not low on potassium, go to your health food store, and get a little bottle of Arnica Montana x6.....you put about five of them under your tongue when your legs cramp up...and almost immediately the cramps are gone..you might want doctor to check to also see if you are anemic or not..that can also contribute to leg cramps..but for instant relief..try the Arnica Montana x6...it is just amazing....let me know if you do...I know you won't be disappointed. oh, sheesh...I though you said LEG cramps...LOL..well i am going to leave this up anyway, in case someone reads it and has bad leg cramps, because it is a life saver!

Answer 4

Mydol or tylenol for menstrual periods work well. Try soaking in a hot bath or putting a warm towel over your stomach. Green tea works for me too.
