Intense menstrual cramps for the past 12 hours. Advil isn't helping. Heat and baths aren't helping either. I am breastfeeding a baby. What should I do?

If you are experiencing intense menstrual pain and over-the-counter options like ibuprofen are not helping, you may want to consider trying naproxen (Aleve) or Midol. These medications contain ingredients that can be more effective for menstrual pain relief. If these options do not provide relief, you may need to consult with a healthcare provider for stronger medications or hormonal supplements. It's important to address your concerns and explore different options to find the best solution for your pain.
