Hello, I get very bad backaches during my periods and find it hard to sit in college. Is it safe to take a pain relief tablet every month, or can it have side effects later?

Please take rest and place a hot water bag on your lower stomach. Sipping warm chamomile or ginger tea can also help ease the cramps.

I totally get it, that radiating lower back pain and cramping can make you want to curl up in bed all day. Don't force yourself to be productive; just rest and use a heating pad to soothe the muscles.

My wife always uses a hot water bag and takes a warm bath to relieve severe cramps. Keeping yourself hydrated and eating light home meals without too much spice also helps a lot.
