i have very painful periods every other month. but when i have them, the pain is excruciating. i am on day three now for this month's period and have been taking ibuprofen, 1 after every 6 hours. If i do not do that, i actually feel the medication fading away and will be in extreme pain again. i am also using the thermo care heat wraps and try working out in the gym when the pain is a little less after the ibuprofen. i also experience very painful ovulation every other month as well. i once visited a clinic and they told me everything was ok with me. is there anything else i should try because i really cannot do anything when i am in pain
