Pills for cramps..???

Question

My mom is very unfriendly to the idea of using any type of medication, she is afraid that it will have negative side effects on my health. But my cramps are so bad sometimes that i vomit, and i just can't take the pain anymore. What should i do, should i just endure the horrible pain, or should i just take the pills. Will the pills have any negative effect on my health in the long run? .. Also what pills are the best to use that aren't that strong but help the cramps? .. thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Try BioFreeze.. its a topical pain reliever.

I use it when I'm cramping or have a backache and it works great.  Reliefs the pain instantly, and you don't have to worry about any side effects.

Answer 2

midol.

i take it when im bloated..not even one my period.

the complete menstrual one is the best!!

just go easy on caffeine while taking it..it has caffeine

Answer 3

if it hurts so bad you have to throw up, then take the pills! midol works and so does pamprin max. don't worry, there are no negative side affects. your mom will come around!

Answer 4

pamprin and midol work best if they are perido related cramps. they will not having an negative sideaffects in the future read the labels for any warnings before your purchase them. (they have always helped me and i have never had any side affects)

Answer 5

I have terrible cramps i vomit and use the bathroom like crazy I be sweating it's horrible I tried motion and midol and all the best thing I have found is CVS brand Ibuprofen its great it works in about 20 minutes and i haven't felt anything negative from taking them.And also i make sure i stay warm put a blanket over yourself stay wrapped up and drink warm tea.The more your body gets cold air towards your stomach it will cramp up if you have a heating pad that would be perfect.and don't use tampons when your really cramping it only makes it worst just use a pad.

Answer 6

You can try Midol for teens.

Also, try eating a banana ... they can help with cramps. After eating one, lay with your knees bent while laying on your side and use a hot water bottle for 5 minutes on your tummy, then 5 minutes on your lower back.

You should see a doctor though... cramping should not be that bad.

Answer 7

Advil always helped me, aleve works well, too.  If your cramps are that severe, though, you should see a doctor.

Answer 8

no offense but your mom sounds a little kookoo..TRy taking some ibuprofen.  ITs ok to take every now and then and its not going to kill you or give you any health problems from taking it a few times!

Answer 9

My older sister has cramps also. She takes PMS Pills. There's tons of them in the drug store. Just ask someone.

Answer 10

I don't know about pills, but drink a lot of cranberry juice and or water.

Answer 11

Midol is good, but the best thing to do for cramps is to go on birth control pills.  They make you have virtually no cramps, your period will be a lot shorter, and a lot lighter.

Answer 12

Midol & Pamprin and sleep it off
