I hope you feel better soon. Taking a warm water bath and just resting in bed with a heating pad helps me quieten the pain nicely.

I totally get how frustrating menstrual back pain is, it literally ruins your whole day. I suggest wearing loose clothes, using a heating patch if you have to go out, and drinking warm chamomile tea. If the pain is totally unbearable though, don't hesitate to consult your gynaecologist.

I was actually reading about this because my sister suffers from bad menstrual backaches every month. Apparently, gentle stretching and staying hydrated really help reduce the severity of the cramps. Hope you find some easy relief today!

When my period back pain hits, I just want to eat hot, comforting food. Honestly, a bowl of warm dal-rice and a piece of dark chocolate makes me feel so much better, and the heat from a hot ginger tea really helps soothe the inner cramps too!

I literally had this horrible lower back cramp yesterday on my day 1. I drank hot ginger-honey water and used an electric heating gel bag on my lower back, and it worked like magic within an hour. Try to avoid cold water and just rest today.
