Odd question

I was told recently that at that time of the month when cramps hit, that it is not normal for cramps to be always and only in the lower back. Am I the only only one who gets her cramps in the lower back or is this just a dumb question?

Can I assume it was a man who told you that? LOL...it wouldn't surprise me.

I used to get pain so bad in my back, my pelvic area and down the front of my thighs. I would be in so much pain and flow so heavily that I literally stayed in bed for three days in agony, using heat and drugs to try and help. I finally had my uterus removed at age 28 - best thing I ever did.

You can get pain and cramping in all sorts of places. What you do need to watch is pain that appears in places you don't normally feel it. That could be a sign of change that might need to be looked at.

I hope you feel better next time round.

EVERYTHING seems to be the worst in my back! - menstrual cramps (past tense), appendix, gall bladder, labor....

I used to get cramps in the back too. I was given Valium and went to sleep for an hour and they disappeared.

I get horrible pain in my lower back ith my cycle. Seems like nothing really helps accept for the heating pad. I use that on my back and my stomach. But with FM it makes it ten times worse, at least it seems like it to me. Hope you feel better soon!
