Once NSAIDs are off the table, what do you take for menstrual cramps?

Tylenol, prescription muscle relaxers, or narcotic pain meds.

Tylenol works great for me

For the first year post-op, my menstrual craps were a million times worse than pre-op. I took Tylenol, which did not do much, and suffered through them. By year two, they were back to normal and bearable.

I've been suffering through without taking anything....and hating every minute of it.

I have some prescription percocet in the house as my just-in-case-it-gets-unbearable, but they constipate me so badly I don't want to go there if I can help it.
