I used to suffer from them until I began taking an oral contraceptive - the doctor actually prescribed the pill for me on the basis of my pain, rather than it's contraceptive qualities. It works an absolute treat, haven't had an ounce of pain in 3 years!

You really don't give a lot of information. I'd take some thing for the pain, preferably Ibuprofen (it's a prostaglandin inhibitor) and use a heating pad on LOW only. If you have the pain with every cycle, see your MD to find out why you have such bad cramps. There are other OTC meds you can buy, but they probably have Ibuprofen in them with some other things.

Hi,
Anti-inflammatory drugs may be helpful; this includes aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen and indomethacin.
In some severe cases, and with disorders such as endometriosis, oral contraceptives may be helpful. They are used in this case to regulate the hormone levels in the body. They may be prescribed even for girls who are not sexually active.
A doctor should be contacted if the menstrual cramps are severe or if the discomfort lasts for more than 2 or 3 days.
In addition to medical therapy, there are a number of other ways that can help ease the pain of menstrual periods like:
Regular exercise
Direct heat application in the form of a heating pad, hot water bottle or warm bath may be soothing.
Massage of the lower abdomen and/or lower back
Relaxation exercises
Adequate sleep
Drinking plenty of water
Avoiding caffeine as in coffee, tea, sodas and chocolate just before and during the period
Eating plenty of green leafy vegetables and whole grains

For really bad cramps you need to see your doctor for further evaluation to see what they think could be going on.
