How can I get rid of cramps?

Question

I know you're supposed to take a painkiller and a hot bath, but I live with my parents (in 12) and I asked if I could take an ibuprofen and my mom said "No.." Like it was the most obvious thing on the world. I told her I didn't feel good and she said I was going to sleep and I didn't need to worry about it.
I'm having the worst cramps I've ever had right now, it's my 5th period in my 3rd day. I had an ultra heavy flow and I feel weak and nautious and just.. Pain. also I'm absolutely freezing but my face is burning hot. It's not rush-me-to-the-er kind of pain, it just really frickin hurts. I've also been ridiculously moody and after she denied me of the painkiller I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and almost cried. I'm already supposed to be asleep so j can't get out of bed, but I was desperate and went on here for help. Does anyone know a good way of getting rid of cramps naturally? Thank you for any help, I really appreciate it!

Answer

Eat broccoli and bananas, anything with potassium.

Answer

Im sorry your mum isn't explaining darling. The reason behind that specific painkiller is because it thins your blood making it a really bad idea while bleeding. If you can ask her to get you some naprogesic tomorrow. In the mean time try some gentle yoga and if possible ask her for a hot water bottle or a hot wet cloth to put over your belly. You can try lying down and pull your knees up to your belly slowly and back down again and do some controlled breathing. When you pull up take a deep slow breath and when you lower breathe out slowly again. The cramping is a mix between inflammation and your pelvic muscles contracting. So you mixing the two may give you some reliefm but i highly suggest talking to her about getting you a period specific pain relief.
Hope this helps.

Answer

Try using a heating pad. I'd also look at getting some peppermint tea. If your mom is into vitamins, have her get you some magnesium. That will help also. Drink lots of water

Answer

you'll have to get out of bed for this one, but what helps me is taking a hot wash cloth and putting it where it hurts. that helps. 
I guess next time just straight up tell your mom what's going on and maybe she'll let you have the ibuprofen? it's weird that she wouldn't let you have it though.
