Apply heat to your abdomen with a heating pad or hot water bottle, or take a warm bath. Heat improves blood flow and may decrease pelvic pain.
Lie down and elevate your legs by putting a pillow under your knees.
Lie on your side and bring your knees up to your chest. This will help relieve back pressure.
Try sexual activity. This may relieve pelvic cramping and backache.
Try using sanitary napkins instead of tampons.
Get regular exercise. This improves blood flow and may decrease pain.
You can also try a nonprescription medication to help relieve your pain
i also wanted to add something from a personal experience, i also suffer for years with all your symptoms, which i thaught was normal...anyway the doctor decided to give me a laparoscopy to see what is the mproblem and found out i have endrometriosis, anway he cleaned me out and the pain is so much better, maybe you should consider that as well
hope u feel better

Cut back on red meat and full fat dairy products before and during your period.
Eat whole grains, legumes, veggies and fruits, nuts and seeds, and fish. Take Fish oil caps or flaxseed oil daily. Take a multiple vitamin-mineral pill daily, and calcium-magnesium-zinc pills with each meal. A B50 complex pill daily on bad days and VItamin C and Vitamin E may be helpful. Bromelain enzymes may help relieve painful menstruation. Herbs: dong quai and motherwort have been used to treat painful cramping. Valerian at bedtime will relax muscles (may cause drowsiness). Good luck!

Heating pad but a few days before your period you should exercise right up until the day you start. Try direx the water pills they help with the bloating and the pain as well

I would suggest taking some pain pain medication, and using a hot water bottle. Also try drinking some hot chamomile tea. That usually helps also. This may also sound stupid but my great grandmother told me when I first got my period to always keep socks on. It helps me alot. When my period is on anytime that I am up and walking around the house I keep my socks on.

If you can see the pain from a distance and feel that the pain is afflicting your body and not U, you will not feel the pain. Since you are something more than a body and it is only the body which feels the pain and not you.

Stay away from coffee (caffeine). Put a hotwaterbottle on your tummy, that should ease some of the pain

No it does not. But it will make you stop thinking about your pains, so usually when you dont think about them they will seem to go away
