   I have to say I am so sorry to hear what you’re going through, and I can totally relate. While it is normal to have a little bit of pain while on your period, you shouldn’t have severe pain or pain that prevents you from functioning. I’ve always had periods like that, and I eventually became tired and a little scared of it, so I went to my gyno. It turns out that my pain was caused by endometriosis. That is where the lining of the uterus grows outside where it is supposed to, and you end up hurting. I would go to a doctor once this is over and see what can be done. A lot of times birth control will help because your periods will stop or become lighter. They could also try giving you pain medication. You should probably go though just to make sure everything is okay. Until then I would try to take it easy. A heating pad should help the cramping a little bit. Taking it easy is really important though. Hope things get better!

   Cramps are caused by contractions of the uterus. Contractions are the tightening of the muscles of the uterus to help menstrual blood exit the body. You may notice some cramping a few days before your period starts and/or during your period. You may feel menstrual cramps in your lower abdomen, your back, or down your legs.
   It is normal to feel some mild cramping and you should be able to relieve this with over-the-counter pain relief medication (the kind you can get at the grocery or drug store without a prescription from a doctor). Talk with an adult in your life to get permission to try a pain reliever that contains ibuprofen or naprosyn. Be sure to follow the directions on the package carefully.
   There are other things you can do to be more comfortable. Exercise is a very good way to relieve cramps. If you play sports or do other physical activities, keep it up during your period! If you don’t have a regular workout routine, this may be a good time to start including exercise in your life. You can also try placing a heating pad on your abdomen, taking a warm bath, or massaging the area that is uncomfortable. Of course, getting proper rest, following a healthy diet, and drinking plenty of water will help you feel your best, too.
   If you have tried the suggestions above and still feel very uncomfortable – or your cramps keep you from your usual activities – you should consult with your doctor/health care provider. He/she should be able to help with a proper diagnosis and treatment.
   Also, keep in mind that your uterus is not the only organ in your abdomen. If you are concerned about cramping or pain that does not seem to have anything to do with your period, you should let an adult know what is happening. He/she can help you consult with your doctor/health care provider, if necessary.

   Put a damp cloth in the microwave for 33 seconds and put it on your lower abdomen and it will sooth the pain.
