I'm not saying you should just pop them constantly, but maybe consider taking them for a bit until things actually improve... then there's a chance the pain won't even come back. Because honestly, just poisoning yourself with every random Tylenol out there without any actual relief—especially since nothing works for some people anyway—isn't a real solution, least of all long-term.

Birth control would probably kill those pains since you wouldn't be ovulating. You'd likely ditch the Tylenol too, and if anemia is part of the deal, that might clear up as well. Could be something with the shape of your uterus or the lining causing the cramps, so just go see a doctor and find out... I'd help you more, but I'm no medic. 😬
Once you stop taking hormonal pills, there's a chance those pains—or any pain at all—might never come back.
Just if you decide to go that route, do your homework on the side effects. Apparently, some of them can even cause cancer.
