Since this is new to you, I'd go to the GYN, it could be nothing, but wouldn't you rather be safe than sorry. You might need a pelvic ultrasound.

Using a heating pad off and on always helps my lower back pain. Just don't get it too hot or leave it on too long. Also, if you put uncooked rice in an old sock (tie the end of it tightly) and put it in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes, it'll act as a great heat source for the pain and it forms to the part of your body that you need it for.

I'm 30 and I NEVER had any type of cramps or back pain with my period until I turned 28. Now its a common thing for my lower back to hurt when I'm on my period. The doc told me that as we get older that our bodies react differently.

Could be fibroids which are benign muscle tumors in and around the uterus. Probably need an ultrasound to be sure at the GYN's office. But they often start showing up in your 30's and can cause a lot of back pain and other problems if they are growing.

Yes it is normal to have back pain when you are on your period. I always seem to have lower back pain when I get my period. Back aches are a common symptom of periods because of all the activity your body is doing in your uterus to prepare for your period.

At your age, after having your period all your life, if you're developing new symptoms like this, it's a good idea to ask the gyno to make sure you don't have endometriosis, or kidney problems. I've got a friend whose back incapacitates her every month.

Increasing back pain as you age with your period may indicate you are developing endometriosis or other "gurly" problems. Statistically speaking you most likely are developing a weak back and the added chemical stress created by your period, brings the back pain to the surface. Consult a chiro and try a round of adjustments.

I find that ibuprofen is a a very good OTC medicine if you take about 4 of them it pretty much numbs your pain

yeah, it's fairly normal, peoples symptoms change with time and age so what was your norm as a teen and 20 something probably won't be your norm in your 30's or 40's .

yes it is normal to have lower back pain. however, if its something new you really should talk to your gyno about it just to make sure! :)
