I haven't tried stomach massage, as such, but I do tend to hug and rub my stomach, and squeeze a towel into my stomach, when I go to the loo. I don't know if it helps, but at least I feel I am doing something to try to stop the pain.

No, but I do use a magnet that is designed for period pain. I think it is called Lady Care or something similar - I'm sure it helps.
