Extreme Pain Before And During Periods, Heavy And Irregular Periods. Have Tied Tubes. Help With Vicodin. Any Other Medication Without Side Effects?

I have extreme pain before and during my periods.. I am 46 and had tubes tied at 33. always had irregular periods. But the last 6 months or so, I am buckled over with pain. I have a period every month but never at same time, always VERY HEAVY, and can last for 4 to 7 days. I take Zoloft, Colozapam, and occasionally Xanax. I have tried Vicodin while on these meds, seems to work for some of the pain, but I dont like the fact that it can be harmful to my liver and kidneys.. Is there any other Pain reliever similar to Vicodin that will help with this horrible pain ? I also don t have insurance so it is hard to monitor my blood.. Please advise.. I know I can t take your opinion as a treatment but would like to get some insight. Thank You !! P.S. I have no cervical or endometrious problems

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain that you have during the periods is due to the uterine contractions. This can be treated with the help of medicines like mefenamic acid. Be careful to not to take it on an empty stomach.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
