I don't get cramps like I have seen other women get cramps, but I do get lower back pain the first days.

Cramps are often caused through over effort. Are u using a particular muscle group continuously which u may not be aware off. Also, vitamin deficiency is also linked to cramps. Make sure that u are eating well and the miricale cure - Drink LOTS of water.

try some light strecthes, too. Cant emphasise the benifits of easy light strecthing on the body.

See a doctor

Camps?...i try to avoid them, gay men can be annoying when they are OVERLY camp

For sure... the slightest ting of cramp coming... I am so quick to take at least 400 mg of advil, or I pay the price. I get cramps horribly. I describe it to people who wonder , it's like twisting your arm in two different directions (non-stop) only, it is like that, say... like in your intestines. I know the pain is not there... but it literally it felt in the whole abdomen area.

My friend gets them so bad that she can't get up from the bed sometimes.

If I don't have advil or even tylenol... I feel as if life is about to end, for real. ---> although this is not a laughing matter.

I am lucky and rarely get menstrual cramps but I have heard that Advil is the best for this because it relaxes the stomach muscles

What I do get is a lot of leg and feet cramps anyone know what is good for that?????

How do i deal with cramps?

Hmmm... I crawl into a foetal position, rock back and forth, and wail.

No seriously women ..it works.

It draws your attention away from the actual cramps and instead to the strange people hovering around you in K-mart!

People can be so weird sometimes!

Turn it UP and ROCK it out!!!

Advil doesn't work for me anymore, I switched to extra strength 500mg Tylenol but I have to catch them before they get bad to feel any relief

Exercise & eating also help ease mine - ironic huh?

Anyone use the heating pads?

Heating pads are a MUST HAVE! (imo) better than all the anti-inflamatorys put together! i have started using the "hot pocket" type you can get at the $ store..just shake them & they last for 8 hrs.

Seppuku

Possible dehydration. Drink at least 64oz. per day. If it doesn't work I recommend seeing a doctor could be a circulation problem.

Potassium suppliments and drinking gatorade...seriously.

Freespirit said:

I get them like that too. My doctor prescribed naprosyn for them, but you can get it over the counter as aleve...it's amazing stuff!
