How to ease back pain during period?

For menstrual backache, pelvic tilts while lying down work wonderfully to release the pressure. Also, try sleeping in the fetal position with a pillow between your knees to keep your spine aligned. It makes a huge difference.

My period pain and backache became much worse when my thyroid levels were unbalanced. If this is a monthly struggle, please get your TSH and pelvic ultrasound done just to rule out any underlying issues.

I usually stick to hot herbal teas and a heating pad to manage period back pain. However, if the pain is so intense that you cannot stand up or if medicines don't help, you should definitely consult a gynecologist.

I have tried everything from warm mustard oil massages to herbal decoctions over the years. Honestly, a simple heating patch and staying well hydrated works best to ease the muscle cramps in the back. Hope you feel better soon.

Due to my high BP, I cannot take random over-the-counter pain killers for period back pain as they can affect blood pressure and kidneys. I rely purely on warm compresses and light stretching. Do check with your doctor before taking any tablets.
