Unclear: There may not be a simple answer to this issue. If it happens with every period then it may be an atypical presentation of PMS related to the hormonal changes of the menstrual cycle. Discuss with your obgyn options to regulate your cycle for PMS and perhaps that would help.

Prostaglandins: During your period, your uterus releases inflammatory hormones called prostaglandins. These circulate in your blood-stream and cause aching muscles--especially in the legs and back. You can suppress the release of prostaglandins by taking Ibuprofen three times a day starting 2 days prior to the onset of your period and continuing through the worst of it.
