Period pains!

I have never had regular periods, so I knew after my surgery, they might become more regular. Well 3 months after my surgery, I got my period for the first time and the cramps are KILLING me! Before my surgery, I would just take some Midol, but I'm not sure if I can now. Tylenol doesn't do anything for me! Please help! These cramps are killer!

    I've had to take half of a muscle relaxer when the cramps got that bad. Call your GYN and see if they can prescribe something and in the meantime, put a heated pack on your back.

    My doc said 850 mg of Tylenol is ok..but no ibuprofen/Motrin whatsoever. The first period post-surgery was so painful, I took my leftover Vicadin just so i could sleep. Luckily the next one after that was much better.
