It's 3am my cramps are keeping me up asprin is a no and i would like to know how to stop the pain . it gets so bad that i drop down in pain crying ?

How to stop pain: Acetaminophen, ibuprofen & naproxen are available over-the-counter w/o prescription to be used for pain relief. Depending upon cause, either warmth or cold can also be useful, the latter for fresh injuries. If pain is that bad, then go to ER for evaluation. If pain isn't that bad but still not responsive to OTC meds, then you need to see your Family Doc or GYN for evaluation & treatment. Good luck
