all your pains will be relieved equally by these drugs but those pains with inflammation will be relieved much faster by Aspirin and ibuprofen than paracetamol. This is so because paracetamol has poor anti-inflammatory action as compared Aspirin and Ibuprofen.

By killing the pain :)
There are two main classes of painkiller and they work via different mechanisms. The first class are aspirin drugs, such as paracetamol and ibuprofen. They work chiefly by blocking the body's production of prostaglandins, one of the main sets of chemicals that produce the sensation of swelling and pain. They act at the site of the injury and as the level of prostaglandins is reduced, swelling is reduced and the intensity of the pain is reduced.
The second class of painkillers are the narcotic drugs, such as morphine and codeine. They work by blocking the path of the chemical messengers that signal pain in the spinal cord and brain.

The paracetamol doesn't know what hurts, and it is a central but not peripheral NSAID. Ibuprofen or aspirin, having additional peripheral NSAID activity, would be a better choice for your menstrual cramps. In theory but not in practice the latter two should also be better choices for the backache.
