pain not going away :(

i woke up from a dream about flying in an airplane with horrible back pains(in my dream I was having back pain too lol) (never been on a plane in my life lol) and knew when i woke up that it was because of TOM that i was hurting, felt bloated too. i took an excedrin menstrual complete pill at 7 something (about an hour after I started to hurt, took a half dose because usally that's all I need) but by 9 i was still hurting, not as bad but still not good lol. i took a 2nd pill at 9:10 maybe and I'm still hurting. I sure do wish this pain would go away

I have a cardio workout today too, but I'm going to wait till this afternoon to do it because of the pain i'm having, I dont' want to lose my breakfast because of it lol.

I can't take anymore pills for like 4 hours, any suggestions on getting rid of this stupid pain?

Heat. If you have a hot water bottle, use that. Or a heating pad, or they sell those ThermaCare disposable heat wraps -- they make one just for your abdomen. If you have a microwave, you can fill a large sock full of dry rice, then fold the top down and slide the matching sock over the whole thing to keep it from spilling, and microwave it for a minute or two, and that will make a nice reusable heating pad.

If you find this is a regular problem, try taking a calcium plus vitamin D supplement every day. It can help.

Maybe a heating pad if you have one or a hot water bottle... but thats about all that you can do besides waiting it out.

I've was never one to push through the pain because like you, it made me throw up!
