For the first few days of my period i get really bad lower back ache. Nothing I seem to do helps and sometimes the pain is so much that it makes me feel sick. I have just taken two codeine tablets, but still no difference Anyone else have this and what do you do to help it?
I know pain in the lower back is natural...I've never experienced it though. If codeine doesn't work, I don't know what would. A warm bath, perhaps?
I get this as well, and to be honest I haven't found a way to really get rid of the pain. But I have definitely found that drinking some herbal tea designed for menstrual problems really cuts down on all my symptoms, including back pain. Also, a hot bath or a heat pad can sometimes help.
I find that a warm bath and treating myself like chocolate ice cream helps. Either the hot bath and being relaxed helps reduce the pain, or I'm just too relaxed to care much.
