A member asked:

Why do my legs ache during my menstrual cycle?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nerve connection: There is a major nerve complex in the pelvis that leads to the reproductive organs and your legs.(Lumbosacral complex). Endometriosis patients often complain of radiating or aching leg pain with their periods. Have a GYN MD check out your situation to be sure that isn't the case.
