If you suffer constantly from muscular cramps, it means your body lacks calcium. Keep a needle around you: if you have a sudden, painful cramp, just prick your muscle with the needle: it won't hurt, but will relieve the pain. And get some calcium supplements, ok? Good luck!

7 Tips To Reduce Menstrual Cramps\n\nDid you know that menstrual cramps is the single greatest cause of lost school and working hours among women?\n\nAlso known as dysmenorrhea, menstrual cramps are the cause of an estimated 140 million hours of lost school and work. However, you do not have to live in pain. Below are some helpful tips that can help women during this particularly painful time of the month.\n\n1. Try to eat smaller, more frequent meals. A lot of food\ncauses blood sugar to rise and fluctuate. instead of eating three large meals, eat five or six small meals a day, each about two and a half hours apart.\n\n2. Exercise. Exercise can help alleviate menstrual cramps by raising the level of beta-endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain associated with pain relief. Studies have shown that beta endorphins have a positive effect on mood and behavior.\n\n3. Try an over the counter Ibuprofen. Advil, Nuprin, and Motrin IB all contain Ibuprofen, which is one of the best pain relievers around. 200 milligrams every four to six hours is the recommended dosage, or twice that if symptoms warrant.\n\n4. Oral contraceptive pills: Have been found to decrease the amount of menstrual tissue formed and lower the pain level (amplitude) of the uterine contractions.\n\n5. Mefenamic acid: Also found over the counter, effectively relieves severe menstrual pain while also reducing heavy menstrual bleeding, easing menstrual migraine, and easing the\nphysical and emotional symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.\n\n6. Reduce salt intake: To prevent water retention that causes bloating. Also, avoid liquor and other alcoholic beverages to reduce headaches.\n\n7. Learn to relax. Rest, sleep and relaxation exercises can help reduce the pain and discomfort of menstrual cramps. A relaxing massage or bath with oil made with chamomile, lavender, marjoram, ginger and/or clary sage. They are aromatic and can aid in relaxation.\n\nNever surrender to pain. There are steps you can take to help alleviate the pain and discomfort. So, the next time you experience any painful menstruation symptoms, be sure to try these tips.

Go to a Dr for their opinion if the cramping you are experienceing is considered "normal". Once other problems of fibroids etc are eliminated then take into consideration your diet, exercise and stress which all contribute to cramps. Chiropractic care is another option to be considered as well as alignment of the spine can contribute to your problem. Other options are look into various teas available to drink that are thought to help in this area.

Try to eat right and do cardio exercising, preferably before your cycle (for obvious reasons). This will cut down on cramps.

I personally love Cytomax. It has potassium in it and sodium to fight off the cramps. As a marathon runner, it seems to immediately replenish my lost electrolites and help me maintain stamina.  Plus that, it tastes pretty good.

I take advil which is the only pain killer that will take away my cramps. Try taking a hot shower letting the water hit your lower back. Also heating pads on your lower abdomen can help soothe. But nothing will really take away the pain except pain killers.

I'm not sure what leg pain you are talking about.  But belive it or not putting a bar of soap under your sheets will stop leg cramps in the night.  I know it sounds weird..but my grandmother told me to do it and it worked.  I know several people that it's worked for...people may think your crazy to do...but don't argue with results!

Midol if the pain is mild. Ibofuren does help, & a heating pads always good. When I have cramps though, i usually, take (depending on how bad the pain is ) midol/tylenol/ibofuren ( i no i speled it wrong)  & i avoid chocolate & wat not. Also afte ru take the medicine, get a heatin pad & lay down, & fall asleep (listen to calming music) & iyou pray (it reallllllyyy works) . YOu can take birth control pills, but reallly, dependin on each individuals body..it doesnt help much.

I have suffered off and on for years with this problem.  Quite debilitating and dangerous when driving.  Bananas - good.  I also take a Potassium Gluconate supplement.\nWhen the pain is really extreme, the only thing I can do is sit on the side of the tub and run the HOTTEST water I can endure over the cramping areas.\nGood luck.

Try taking some MSM it is a natural muscle builder and repairer. I stretched the muscles in my back, I took this along with Melatonin Capsules. This is a natural product that relaxes the muscles and makes you sleep. It is not addictive. But it does work. I took two MSM in morning with one melatonin and same at night. Along with this I used the ice gel, which helped, with the cramps and charlie horses.

You don't say how old you are and that might affect how your periods are.\n\nOne thing that helps with cramps is to give up caffiene.  No coffee, tea, caffienated sodas and you might have a much easier time.\n\nThere are over the counter meds that work well--Pamprin works pretty well--and your doctor can prescribe stronger medications.  In some cases, birth control pills are prescribed to manage menstrual pain.\n\nOther things you can do?  Use a heating pad (or one of those heating bandages that are out now), gentle exercise such as stretching or walking, and if you're of age a shot of brandy or some other liquor works pretty well.\n\nGood luck.  (You have my sympathies)

I've had many of them to burst. I actually have two of them right now.  It will burn, it is pretty uncomfortable but it is not  unbearable.  The best thing to do is take 600 to 800 ibuprofen.  That's only 3 or 4 pills, same as prescription.  Then get in a warm shower and just relax.  The heat helps a lot.  By the time you get out the med's have had a chance to kick in.  Then just rest a couple of hours.  It feels about like cramping at the beginning of your period.  Keep your legs elevated and just rest is the best thing.  I've had to deal with these things for 12 years.  It's like having bad period cramps for a day but concentrated more to one spot.

I had really irregular, painful , heavy periods. i went to my doctor and she told me that i should go on birth control pills to help regulate all that. It has helped. Before when i had serious cramps, I used to lay on my back and put a pillow or a towel under my lower back. i have also found out that when i started exercising regularly, the cramps where not as bad when i had my periods. good luck and i hope you find some relief!
