My Doctor prescribed Etodolac (which is actually for arthritis) that is really helpful if I remember to start taking it a few days before my period starts.

As Nicole mentioned above, turmeric, ginger, spices in general, lots of greens to be added in your diet, will reduce the pain and a positive attitude even in your bad days 😊 lots of hugs

Alternating heating pads and cold packs helps me for the pain. My pelvic floor physical therapist told me that sometimes heat worsens the inflammation, so to use cold too. I have heard good things about infrared heating pads; apparently they penetrate the tissues more deeply and don’t leave burns. But I’ve never used one myself.

I have an older version of this heating pad, but I like it because the moist heat penetrates deeper. Also, you have to hold the lever or it shuts off, so it feels safer to me.

I alternate Advil and Tylenol too. I had Norco, but I hated how it made me feel and I had to be in absolute agony for hours before I would take it. I like TENS units, but IMHO, don't spend more than $30-40 because many are overpriced and it's bologna that they charge that. Warm Epsom salt baths help too. I also have pelvic floor physical therapy exercises and there’s lots of yoga for endo videos on YouTube. Here's links to two of my favorites.

I also have compounded suppositories of Flexeril (muscle relaxant) and Lidocaine (numbing agent). There’s several different formulas of them, so ask your doc if you want to look into that. When I have to be away from my heating pad, those Thermacare menstrual heating pads (or generic) are helpful. Some users swear by peppermint oil to the belly but it was too strong for me. I never thought to cut it with coconut oil though. This oil blend to the belly helps me.

It helps me to take alieve starting a few days before. I do also take Tylenol to supplement it, probably too much as well. Once my period starts I normally take at least 3 alieve a day if not 4 so that it is always in my system.

Try gel Alive and a heat pad. If you doctor refuse to listen find one that will. Seeing someone with deaf ears it like not see someone at all but paying for it.
