Something that works for me: (1) as strong a pan med as you can get your hands on (preferably prescription: I have Lorazepam, but a few Tylenol might do the trick) and (2) an antacid, preferably liquid, like Maalox. (Another option is Alka Seltzer with Pain Relief.) A bonus is something like GasX. As soon as the pains start, the antacid/pain relief/anti-gas combo. The antacid and gas relief will help with any bloating, and the pain med will help with any pain. It will take a few mins to an hour to start working well, but pain subsides pretty quickly after that.

Good luck.
