Sometimes I get 'normal' cramping during my period, and other times I get sharp pains. These different pains all just come part and parcel with having a period. I don't get them every month, but some months I do.
Hot water bottle/heat pack and ibuprofen usually take the edge off.
quinolones have their place and are useful in certain medical situations. One should always get their information from their doctor. good luck to the poster
