Are you sure you don't have Endometriosis? I did and got weird pains in that area that were not normal. Putting a hot pack helped, I made one out of rice and a long sock that I could stick in the microwave. Mine is worse lately because of my meds, as soon as I started the anti-seizure they got way worse. They're over 1 week most of the time, and if one is light the next is super heave and vice versa. If you're over 40 some progesterone might help too, talk to your OB about it, they have natural stuff at Whole Foods that supposedly works well.
