A member asked:
I seem to always get a neckache or headache in the back of my head towards my neck right before and during my period. should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No it's dysmenorrhea: Pain is the most common symptom of dysmenorrhea. Although it's usually back, abdominal or pelvic pain. This is caused by production of prostaglandins in preparation for implanting a fertilized egg (whether it happens or not). Oral contraceptives, an ssri medication may help. See your gyn if your neck pains concern you.
