My cramps are killing me!?

Question

I have taken two 600 milligram ibuprofen today (not at the same time) and have excersized but nothing is helping! I'm taking progesterone and the doc said the cramping would be normal, but GEEZ!

Does anyone have any home remedy or other suggestions on how to eleviate this pain----I would greatly appreciate any suggestions cause i'm about ready to scream!!

Answer 1

I'm actually going through really bad cramps right now as well, and to help it I'm drinking some chamomile tea with some ginger in it. You could try this, provided you have some tea. If not, try lying down or taking a warm bath. If you massage the cramping areas, that might help too. Hope this helps, cramps stink!  

Answer 2

Heat!!

I get horrible cramps as well and the only thing that can help me is heat. Take a warm shower and drink a warm cup of tea. The best thing that works for me though is putting a heating pad on my stomach. Try these things and they should help.

Good luck and feel better!

Answer 3
