Whenever I am about to get my menstrual period I get pain on my lower back pain scale 8 where I'm in tears, went to gynocologist and he wanted to put an iud, which is not an option. Birth controls he didn't want to give me because I smoke, I understand why, I had a vaginal ultrasound the cost I had busted ,I take more of the recommended dose of Aleve and am still in pain, what else of an alternative is there out there.
