Question 2

ways to help reduce lower back pain during period?

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Get an OBGYN consult: It sounds like you need to visit your OB/GYN right away. You may need to have a cervical exam, pap, r/o uterine process such as fibroids or endometriosis. The Mirena (levonorgestrel) should be working better so best that your OB/GYN rules out contraindications and makes sure your symptoms are better controlled. Low back pain may or may not be unrelated. Talk to your GP doctor about it. Good luck.

See your doctor: Blood in urine with pain could be symptoms of several different problems including:  A urinary tract infection, kidney stones, or an STD.  It would be best to have it checked out by your doctor.   Hope you feel better quickly!

Question 6

what could be causing my lower back pain on only one side? are these signs of my first period coming?

Accepted Answer

Musculoskeletal: It is much more likely that your unilateral back pain has a musculoskeletal cause, such as degenerative disc, facet joint arthropathy, si joint pathology, herniated disc, pinched nerve, etc - rather than being related to menstruation.  However, if your symptoms persist you should see a physician for evaluation.

Question 7

period 3 days late , when i lay down or prop up my sides hurt and i have lower back pain. what is is and what can i do to help it. ?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy test: I am unaware of how regular your periods are, but pregnancy is always a likely answer.  it all depends on your cycle and exposure to sex.  Usually I would do the test 1-2 weeks after a missed period, but you can do it now if you feel that you are pregnant.  The back pain can be treated with tylenol, (acetaminophen) ibuprofen, while you wait, but it is always best not to take anything if you think pregnancy

Question 8

every month during my period and a week after i get lower back pain and stiffness, only at night time, it wakes me up the pain is that bad. thanks

Accepted Answer

Night pain, not good: I am always worried when pain wakens my patients. Although it may not be serious, and related to a common condition, before assuming it is due to your back, I would suggest you have your gynecologist evaluate you for conditions in the ovaries or surrounding organs that could cause this. Endometriosis should be looked for as well.

Question 9

how can i combat lower back pain during my period? it is a constant pain for the few days of my cycle.

Accepted Answer

Birth Control pills: Best remedy for back pain during menstrual cycles is to take birth control pills in an acyclic way and avoid periods altogether.

Accepted Answer

Consult Gyn!: You must consult with your gyn especially if the back pain correlates with menstrual cycle and severity of bleeding.
