I have pain the week before my period,during my period and during
ovulation. I have been prescribed Ultram, or the generic is Tramadol.
It works very well, I also have prescription 800 mg Motrin that on the
really bad days I can alternate between the two prescriptions. The
Ultram works very well for me, on bad pain days I normally only have to
take one twice a day, and I can still function at my job and as a mother
of a very active 5 year old boy. They are non-habit forming from what I
have been told. Good Luck.
