Hi ladies! Hope everyone is doing well! I've always had low back pain before periods but this month its continued after period ended. Ended 2 days ago and it still feels like it did when I started. Anyone else deal with this?

    My lower back ache started about 6 months ago & has just got worse since, my gp thinks its tension which is very likely as my health anxiety is off the chart! im trying yoga, back exercises & amitripyline which doesnt seem to be helping. gp said to double the dose of amitripyline but makes me feel abit drunk! hopefully its another hormone issue but its so draining. i describe my pain as burning/stinging x

    Yes,i do all the time. Mine comes and go. It is pure hell. Stiffness beyond belief and pain. I find that taking hot baths with epsom salt helps. Take magnesium and use back creams. That is my only relief. Wishing you well
