You can try a variety of different things - each woman will have a set of responses that works for her.
First, lay off the caffeine (coffee, soda, non-herbal tea) - caffeine is a stimulant that can increase the cramping.
Second, over-the-counter pain medication can help. ibuprofen seems to work, as does Midol or Pamprin - find one that works for you.
Third, heat applied to the lower back or abdomen can help - you can use a heating pad or take a hot bath (showers don't seem to work for this).
Fourth, try eating a banana - sometimes the cramps are bad because your potassium level is low.
Fifth, try gentle stretching to relax the back and stomach muscles - a good yoga instructor or chiropractor can help you figure this out.
Sixth, call in sick and spend the day in bed being miserable - sometimes you just have to ride out a particularly painful day. Sleep when you can, use ibuprofen or your choice of pain medication at label dose and wait for the storm to pass.

What would cause severe cramps and clotting during period?
There are some women who have a very heavy menstrual flow, and it is accompanied by severe cramps. Not all women have this (in fact, most do not); but those who do are often very uncomfortable and it impacts their quality of life. The causes for it vary-- in some cases, it is genetic and other women in the family have had it. But in other cases, there are certain medical conditions and syndromes that can cause excessively heavy bleeding during the period. The good news is that while a heavy period and menstrual cramps can be aggravating, it tends to be treatable. You should visit a gynecologist, who will examine you and find out what is causing your symptoms. The doctor may then be able to prescribe something to regulate your menstrual flow and help you to feel better.
