Can pms cause upper back and shoulder pain?

Not commonly, but: Women vary from each other and over time in PMS symptoms and from none, through mild, to very severe levels. Those are NOT directly common, but not impossible. Here's good PMS info: http://www.womenshealth.gov/publications/our-publications/fact-sheet/premenstrual-syndrome.html#c Your issue could be very separate but you may be more sensitive at that time to the pain. Best!

PMS: I understand your distress. PMS can cause upper back pain. It can cause trouble focusing on tasks and Anxiety which can lead to shoulder ache and pain. Lack of Vitamin B6, Calcium, or Magnesium in the diet can increase chances of getting PMS. High stress, a lack of exercise, and too much Caffeine can make symptoms worse See Gynecologist for Diagnosis; discuss medications to relieve PMS.
