A member asked:
I'm on bc to help control period symptoms. lately my lower back has been in serious pain up to a week before my period. should i change my bc?

Maybe: Changing BC could get rid of this symptom - especially if you weren't having it before you started the BC. An alternative idea, if you like your BC otherwise, is to medicate with ibuprofen starting the day before you expect the cramping. It may eliminate or reduce the pain. Good luck!
