I Really Need Advice!!

I've been told by doctors that hormonal birth control would be my best option for my periods however I cannot take any forms of hormonal birth control because I would put myself at risk for life threatening blood clots. Sadly, I'm at the point where heating pads, ice, and pain killers don't relieve my cramps and I'm frequently up at night because of it. Does anyone know of anything else that may help? I've kept heating pads on me that they burn and all my doctors say is that I have to deal with it.
