i know there are other people out there who suffer from extremely painful menstrual like cramps while running (saw this on active. com but they updated their site and the discussions was lost. ) anway during the second two weeks of the cyle i suffer from these cramps and have to stop running after about 10 minutes. i also have the urge to run to the bathroom. does anyone have any suggestions or solutions to this problem other than having to go on some sort of birth control? oh yea taking advil before a run doesn't help either.
what can cause a dull menstrual like cramp pain on right side of pelvic area? . for the past 3 to 4 days i have been having a menstrual cramp like pain but it is only on the right side. it is not a severe pain but enough of pain that after 4 days it has worn me down and made it hard to do anything. i have taken perscription ibprofen i had left from my gallbladder surgery and it doesnt seem to help. if i put a heat pack on the area it helps but as soon as i get up and move around its right back to hurting again. im absolutley miserable. what can cause this?
