Reply #14: Motrin is the BOMB for menstrual pain [View All]

[disillusioned1]

I'm old enough to remember when nothing worked. I used to sneak a few of my grandma's 1,000MG Motrin for my periods. I thought they were a miracle, and they are.

Just try to stop taking them in a few weeks. Bad news for the bowel. Husband fried his small bowel on Motrin. Has to survive on rice, potatoes and white meat now, or he's in the bathroom all day and half the night.

Now back to your back; Ice will limit the inflammation the first 24 hours, then heat to increase blood flow and healing.

Hope you feel better soon.
