quick cramping question

[itsallgrand]

No, not menstral cramps.

 

 

 

I had my pap and pelvis exam this morning. God dam it hurts. Cramps. I thought it would just go away. Walk it off.

It's not felt like this before where it has lasted so long and hurt so bad. Usually I don't get cramps from the test, but I hear it's normal to have some.

 

So, it would be good if i could get rid or lessen them now before the evening gets rolling. Should I just pop a tylenol or something?

Deal with it like a period cramp?

 

thanks.

Yeah it's a lot like a period cramp. Any time your uterus or cervix gets jostled around those muscles can start spasming and crampy. But I don't think it should last too long or be as bad as period, should be feeling better soon. Plus I don't think you should take any medicine if you might be drinking tonight.

Yeah, just treat it like period pains.

I've had that too. It always goes away quickly.

My gf had this a few weeks ago. She went for checkup and pap a few days after her period. Next day it was gone. Then it came back - She hurt (no sex that day) - and I got worried whether she caught something during the exam. Then it went again.

Thanks all.

Well, I skipped on the medicine and just waited for it to subside. It came and went all night, but I feel better today.

 

that's interesting, nottoogreen. I just finished my period too. Maybe that makes us more sensitive to the jostling.

hey no problem i guess us "dumb" athletes do know something

[nottoogreen]

I think positive, so forget about the dumb please.

[BBHFutureAllAmerican]

haha i know it was a joke but people like that stereotype, i'm a very versatile kind of guy

Pickle juice vs: link removed. It's worth a try. I'll have her drink it before and after the appointment. Will be about 5 months though.

[BBHFutureAllAmerican]

like i said it works for us because we lose a lot of salt n stuff through sweat but hey can't hurt to try

[nottoogreen]

Reading up: link removed states that the procedure should be performed 10-20 days after first day day of last period. I think she went after 6-7 days when there was no bleeding. Her period is about 4 days total counting from minimal bleeding to minimal bleeding.

 

The "rush" was about her having recent major pre-menstural left ovarian pain and swelling following an ectopic pregnancy a few years ago. She got meds and her just finished period was normal without extraordinary pains and swelling.

Bananas are supposed to help with cramps too. I guess it's that they're high in Potassium.
