I have severe dysmenorrhea, I have been prescribed many pain killers but none of them work. what else can I do

The following dietary changes may help prevent or treat menstrual pain:
鈥?Increased dietary intake of foods such as fiber, calcium, soy foods, fruits and vegetables.
鈥?Decreased consumption of foods that exacerbate PMS. They include caffeine, salt and sugar.
鈥?Quitting smoking. Smoking has been found to worsen cramps.
鈥?Taking daily multi-vitamin and mineral supplements that contain high doses of magnesium and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), and flaxseed or fish oil supplements. Recent research suggests that vitamin B supplements, primarily vitamin B6 in complex, magnesium, calcium, zinc, vitamin E, and fish oil supplements (omega-3 fatty acids) also may help relieve cramps.

Only a doctor can give you other things to try and get rid of the pain...Drinking milk I heard helps because of the calcium and heating pads...things like that...but in your case I'm sure you've worn those out........well good luck..Sometimes BC helps too if you aren't already taking it.
