If you have a heating pad, use that on your lower abdomin. To ease your cramps in the future, consider an abdominal workout 3 or 4 times a week. The stronger your stomach muscles are the less likely you are to have cramps.

try a heating pad on your stomach for about an hour or so if that doesn't help try to exercise a bit keep alternating it and if you hit midol-hate to say it but it can make cramps worse due to the caffeine in it. all else fails take a couple of shots that will definitely help with the pain for a while

try a warming bottle, drink a lot of water, ibuprofen works the best for me. I used to get such bad cramps that I even got fever and couldn't do anything at all. until I started working out regularly. I hope you will start feeling better.

best thing for some relief is a heating pad, just rest on that to soothe the aches, i've also heard cranberry juice is helpful that time of the month...but i get horrific cramps and i've always taken pamprin, it's the only medication i've found that helps. i know that it only comes in pills, but maybe you could talk to your local pharmacist about diluting it or something. good luck, feel better~

Try heat pads. They came out with some for period pain specifically. It's called Thermacare or domething like that. You can find it @ WalMart or a pharmacy. They're inexpensive too. Also, try to stay hydrated. If you're cold, that makes it worse. Wear socks if possible, or slippers. I hope this helps you.

Heating pads. Maybe drink some coffee or tea. You can get on all fours and stay in that position for a few moments...by letting your uterus hang in that position it can ease cramps/

Chocolate, especially dark chocolate can ease cramps. I don't know what medicine you used today but for future reference use either Aleve or Pamprin All Day Relief (blue pill).

Heating pads will help also eating bananas will help cramps, since you can't swallow anything try squashing the banana like how you would feed it to a baby.

Get a heating pad and lay it on you stomach that helps me! Or try taking a really hot bath if you don't have a heating pad. That can relax your muscles. Good Luck!
