period problems

so when i’m on my period, i get really bad back pain and cramps. like t gets really bad, and it’s really hard for me to have a productive day when i’m on my period because i feel so miserable. do you guys have any suggestions for these symptoms? i take ibuprofen and tylenol, but this doesn’t seem to help. the heating pad i use helps, but as soon as i stop using it the pain comes back and i can’t exactly stay on the heating pad all day. all advice is greatly appreciated!!
