Pain relief tips

Currently I am laying in bed in quite a bit of pain. I just grabbed a disposable hot pack and I am using directly on my lower abdomen.
I know I am supposed to put a towel in between but I need the extreme heat.
It relieves the tension and cramping a considerable bit.

Alternating between hot and cold packs also helps me.

What tips help you?
(I like the large disposable ones because they are not as heavy as a hot water bottle and they get hot very fast. No need to boil up a pot of water when I'm in pain)

I also do the heat, but I use a heating pad and sometimes those air activated charcoal stick on heat pads for menstrual cramps. Works for 8 hours and it helps with gut cramping.

Yep heating pad for me too.

She has librax and Zofran already...

Dikid...why exactly the cramps? are you flaring badly at this point? and how long has this been going on? I'm not questioning the intensity...just clarifying.

Has your doc checked you out in case something else is going on?

Have you considered some might be food intake? for me some foods give me bad cramping.

I find the microwave bag (magic bag) the best because it does have weight to it. Of course, it doesn't work while up and about.

Tummy massage can work as well....for cramping that's not gas, counter-clockwise is helpful.

Keep us updated how you're doing.

Thanks guys...
The cramps are probably exacerbated by my period.
I'm due for remicade on Friday so that's probably why I'm cramping.
I know I'm not supposed to be going like this at the end so Im gonna talk to my doc.
He mentioned possibly increasing the frequency to 7 weeks.
