I ve had chronic lower back pain from 8 to 15, my GP has done nothing but prescribe medication that does not work (no x rays or pelvic exams!), what should they have done? I get it on my period, when i walk for a bit and when i need a bowel movement. I got my period at 12 but yet still had back pain at 8, its happens more now that i have periods. Please help its influencing my life so much, i cant go out with friends knowing that we will walk a bit.
Hi, Backache commonly occurs due to slip disc or pinched nerves, muscle pain/stress. 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.
