Best ways to deal with cramps

So I’ve been having cramps way worse than usual. I have a pretty high pain tolerance and when my dad say me crying today he wanted to take me to the er cause I’ve never cried like that from pain. I’ve taken pain killers and they help but is there any other methods to help because they wear off In Like 4hours and I can’t take more until atleast 6 hours. How can I ease the pain? Please help
