What Causes Back Pain And Aching Before And After A Period?
My lower left of back will start to hurt usually right before my period. Sometimes right after also. It gets so bad sometimes that all I can do is sit or lay down. After I sit or lay down for awhile it lets up. I will take advil, mortin, etc. for the pain but does not help it. Lately it has moved to the front, its more of a achey feeling but sometimes it can double me over.
