I've been having lower back pain and cramping for the past couple of days., and i'm getting what looks to be the start of my period. what could it be?

Your period, likely: You describe some common premenstrual symptoms, cramping and (some people) lower back pain. It should resolve once menstruation is in full swing... However, if the back pain worsens and is associated with urinary symptoms, might think about uti. Also, must rule out pregnancy (assuming any vaginal bleeding is not a normal menstrual cycle). Bottom line: if not improved in a week, see ur dr.
