I get exceptionally bad period pain

I’m looking for solutions to deal with it that don’t involve medication.

I know at night time snuggeling up to a hot water bottle can help – but it’s summer at the moment and that’s not an option in the extreeme heat.

Has anyone tried herbal solutions that work? Or does anyone have a trick that works for them?

Panadol is useless. The only thing that seems to work for me is anti-inflamitory medication – but I want a healthier alternative

I heard it helps as a muscle relaxant but I also heard that the combination make th pain medicine work better. My father broke his neck and had to have part of his hip taken out and put in his neck to prevent future complications. He was told to take percocet and soma, but he does not like taking the Soma all the time because it puts him out and he dosn’t like that . He feels its to strong taking them both. He has to take the pain medication because of th pain and he is ok like that, but with the Soma he only takes it at night now because its too strong he says. So my question is does the soma make the pain medication stronger or is it a cobination type thing where they both work together? And could he stop taking the soma, because the doc said the they work toghether. Is there a alternative? Thank you for listening. If a profesional that works in the medical field could give me any input that would be great. best wishes,Joe

Perplexed asked:


I am taking Vicodin for pain and it is upsetting my stomach. However, I cannot take NSAIDS or over the counter meds because they are MUCH harder on my stomach.

I looked into Tylenol with Coedine, but I am supposed to stay away from that stuff due to high liver enzymes. Another reason I am trying to find an alternative to Vicodin.

Please help! Thanks!!!
