Is there any way to get relief from menstrual pain/cramps?

No, none of those other answers are correct. The best mentrual cramp medication over-the-counter is Naprosyn (naproxyn), also known as Aleve, (OTC). It does not require a prescription, its not a narcotic so there is no addiction risk and is twice as strong and lasts longer than motrin/ibuprofen. Tylenol and Midol are useless, so is a hot water bottle, for really serious mentrual pain. MEDICATIONS: Take 1-2 tablets every 6-12 hours with at least 1 glass of water and some food. Do not take aspirin, motrin/ibuprofen or anything containing those products as it will increase the risk of bleeding ulcers and peptic ulcer disease. Naproxyn is the OTC drug of choice for menstrual cramps. You can also check with your doctor about a special birth control pill protocol (Seasonique) that allows only 4 periods a year. It’s not perfect but 4 is better than 12, right? lol HEAT: As far as heat, I recommend either those disposable heat pads that last 8-12hrs each, or even better, the far infra-red heati
