How to help back pain during period?

Period back pain is actually the absolute worst, I deal with this every single month. Just rest up and keep a hot heating pad handy, it really helps soothe the ache.

I get really bad backaches too, especially with my thyroid issues which seem to make muscle pain worse. I highly suggest getting a basic hormone and thyroid panel done. And always consult your doctor instead of just waiting it out, a regular follow-up helps track these changes.

Please don't ignore it if the pain is unbearable or getting worse each month. I used to think severe back pain was just normal period stuff until I finally went to a gynecologist and found out I had a small cyst. Get a proper checkup done once just to be completely safe.

I feel you, the back ache makes it so hard to even sit straight at work. Try doing some very gentle child's pose stretches on your bed, it really opens up the lower back. Also, avoiding cold water and drinking warm fluids during these days helps quite a bit.
