I think if they are that bad she should talk to her doctor, maybe she can get some muscle relaxers or something to at least help take the edge off.

Re: My gf is getting bad cramps (that time of the month)

She did go see a doctor, they just told her to take tylenol menstrul and maybe a hot water bottle... Was just seeing if there is any tips any of you girls do that might help... There is always some stuff docs dont say that work well...

Re: My gf is getting bad cramps (that time of the month)

being on the contraceptive pill should reduce the symptoms. So should evening primrose oil tablets, and as she's already doing, pain relief tablets.

Hope she feels better soon - maybe she should snuggle up in bed with some chocolate and some cozy jim jams

Re: My gf is getting bad cramps (that time of the month)

I'd go back and tell the doc that what he/she reccomended is not helping. Has she actually gone while they were bad? If she hasnt maybe she should so he/she can see that she is in a lot of pain.

Re: My gf is getting bad cramps (that time of the month)

Tylenol Rapid Release 500mg take 2, warm baths, warm not hot tea, raspberry tea is good for the uterus. Chocolate and relaxation.

I usually get em pretty bad myself for at the very least the first day.
Midol, Pamprin...The Tylenol never worked for me.
On the other hand if these have gotten worse over time for her or they are somewhat of a newer thing she should go see a doctor.

Re: My gf is getting bad cramps (that time of the month)

Magnesium is good to take to relax the muscles, and can help with cramps. Agreed on the evening primrose oil that helps with mood swings too.

Sometimes there can be underlying problems with bad period pain, eg endrometriosis, polycystis ovaries etc. If she isn't happy with the current doctor and feels that the pain is that bad, than perhaps she needs to go get a second opinion.
