hi im adelle,im 30yrs old,i have had lower back pain for about 3weeks now,ive had this before and the doc told me it was a strain and i wasnt convinced then.now the pain has come back in the same place and it was severe in the first two weeks, it has worn off but im bleeding between my perioRAB its only a few spots tho.last time i had the pain i ended up having a full period which was very heavy and i think this will happen again altho im not due for period yet.im starting to get worried about this and would be grateful if anyone could shed any light and if you have similar problems,in the meantime i will be getting myself to the docs
 
well, do not do such things that may become the cause of more lower back pain such as lifting heavy things etc. try to sit and sleep in proper posture. Try message therapy which can help a lot in reducing pain as well as stress in your body. you better visit a pain clinic or a pain physician in this regard. he may be able to help you out effectively. :)

Consider a visit to your ob/gyn doctor ASAP. There are other things like endometriosis or ovarian cysts that can cause back pain. The only reason I mention these two is that your back pain seems to result in changes in your period. If the gynecologist gives you a clean bill of health then consider asking your doctor for an MRI and referral to an orthopedic spine surgeon or neurosurgeon (they can evaluate and give you treatment options - not just surgery but other stuff as well).
 
Hello,

It is difficult to tell if the lower back pain is related to your irregular spotting / period but it is definitely grounRAB to set up an appointment with your gyne. Ask to have an ultrasound if the gyne does not do it automatically AND you should really have an endometrial biopsy done as well (an in office procedure that takes a small sample of the lining of the uterus). I assume that you are up to date on your pap smears ? If not, then this is also something that should be done (I am sure your gyne will do this automatically).

There are many causes for irregular uterine bleeding including a side effect of using the birth control pill (either at the beginning or if you have used it long term), fibroiRAB, a thickened uterine lining, cervical lesions, thyroid issues etc. You need someone to investigate further. The cause may or may not also be related to your lower back problem.

To try to help yourself re the back problem, try taking an anti-inflammatory to help get yourself moving again. Ironically, if you stop moving, it will often make things worse (move slowly though, don't go running a marathon or anything, just try to keep moving). A warm bath with epsom salts may help as may lower back stretching exercises such as lying down on the floor or on a flat surface and bringing your knees up to your chest. As has already been mentioned, try not to do things that may aggravate the condition. Sit up properly on a firm chair (some easy chairs can make things worse) or consider purchasing a kneeling chair from an office store like Staples. These chairs take the pressure off your back when you sit down.

I hope you get to the bottom of things very soon.
