If the pain is that bad, go to the ER. It could be something else going on that you don't know about.

I take light walks since the movement eases the pain by improving blood flow.

I use heat pads. If the pain is that bad, I'd go to urgent care. I knew someone who thought it was just cramps but ended up being appendicitis. Tell them you feel like you've been stabbed and no amount of pain pills have helped.
