Hear, hear.
The only way I used to be able to describe it to other people was to refer back to the scene in Aliens but from the abdomen, not the chest wall. We started refering to my cramps as "birthing the alien baby" for about a year. My SO believed me most of the time because he would hold me when it was too bad, but the doctors didn't.
Try explaining, "It feels like someone is sticking hot pokers in my labia... or using a hot knife to cut them off, slowly". They would scoff at that. I never really had a good way to describe it, and since it wasn't every cycle, I often wasn't believed either. Nice call to everyone who has given me a better way to describe this mess.
