I'm always faced with lower back pain each time my menstrual period comes. It's so uncomfortable and unbearable that I always have to pop a pain reliever 3 to 4 times a day.

I save pain killers for when I absolutely can't take it anymore – look

I had some lower back pain before I started using hormonal birth control. Now the pain in my back has gone away. I would try to apply some heat and maybe soak in a warm bath. Try to sit with a pillow behind you.
