Please help its influencing my life so much, i cant go out with friends knowing that we will walk a bit.  <response>: Hi, Backache commonly occurs due to slip disc or pinched nerves, muscle painstress. You can have X-ray or MRI done to rule out any pathology, visit an orthopedic surgeon. Take rich calcium diet multivitamin supplement. The cramps that you have during periods is called amenorrhea you need not worry about it. Take antacid spasm one so when discomforted. However, if you have intense pain visit a gone get examined to rule out PID or endometriosis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
