A member asked:
Is it normal to have back pain a week before period is supposed to start, along with some spotting [brown blood - very little] thank you!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It's certainly possible to have back pain (some women have more back pain related to cramps) and spotting prior to your period. However, if this pain is new for you or severe, then it's worth seeing your doctor to have it evaluated.
