I'm so sorry you're going through this. I used to have terrible cramping that would keep me home from work. I also was still able to take ibprofen. I have since had the mirena inserted. Try soaking is a nice warm bath, use a heating pad, ho****er bottle or even nice warm towels on your tummy to try and get some comfort. 

Here's a couple home remedies I found:


Mint:

Relieve your cramps with peppermint or wintergreen, especially when added to a tea. Drink one to two cups per day. Throughout the day, you may also suck on mint candy.

Drink Hot Liquids:

When your pelvic region feels congested and cramped, allow the warmth of hot liquids to increase your blood flow and relax your muscles. Some of the best drinks include hot herbal teas and warmed up lemonade.

Mineral Bath:

Take a dip in your very own herbal spa treatment to relieve cramps. Comprised of one cup of sea salt and one cup of baking soda added to warm water, this home remedy works by relaxing your muscles. Soak for at least 20 minutes.

Parsley:

Parsley not only increases menstruation and aids in regulating a monthly period, but parsley juice also treats painful cramping. Blend and drink 75 milliliters of parsley, beet, carrot, and cucumber juices for maximum results.

Ginger:

During times of a painful menstruation, use ginger as an effective home remedy. Pound a piece of ginger and boil it in a cup of water for a couple of minutes. Sweeten the infusion with sugar and drink three times daily after meals.

Here's the website for all they listed. I hope you find some relief soon!

I was like that for years and was taking Naparoxen and T'3s for the pain. As well I had a heavy flow. I finally ended up having an endometrial abalation which has helped. This would only be a good choice if you are done having kids. For me, it made my flow much lighter, and although I still have cramping it is only for a couple of days instead of a week or more.

I hate to see someone in so much pain. I've been lucky with my mirena. I've had it a few years and for the first 6 months it was unstable. I've had a few heavy periods in the few years I've had it but most of the time I don't have it or I spot. I sure get the pms though. Can you take codeine? Do you have any T3's left from surgery? Or you can get T1's over the counter and 2-3 of them may help. If not then maybe give your dr a call tomorrow and see what he would suggest. Hope you feel better soon.
