lower back pain is one of the only symptoms aside from my stomach that I have all month it usually is a dull nagging pain for part of my cycle and as I get closer to AF it gets really sore and uncomfortable, I also find when I get cramps throughout the month the back pain is worse again, tiger balm is a good friend those days

Yes, I had lower back pain for 3 yrs prior to getting diagnosed. I s just talking to the hubby...it turned out that my right tube was plastered in place, and has since been removed.
I still have lower back pain, but it is much duller now. I might try and work out again! After 3 yrs of trying, and then having my back go out all the time, I finally just gave up on working out. Needless to say my legs are in the worst shape of my life. :-(
Where does it hurt? For me it was my periformis muscle on my right side.

I get very severe lower back pain with endo pain. I wish I had a solution. I'm trying to decide if I should take regular medication to help reduce endo (like depo vera) or just endure the 2-4 days a month I have severe pain with vicodin and motrin. My endo was dormant for 10 years and now it's back with a vengence. Earlier in my life, b/w 17 and 35 I had six laparoscopies to help with the endo.

Yes I have it mostly on the right side. I have cysts on my right ovary and think most of this pain is from that. when I had my first Lap in March '07 I had a large mass of inactive endo (scar tissue) behind my uterus...so I have attributed some of that pain to that!

mine seems to be more on the left lower side but for the most part it is all over! and im getting pain all over my body... today it seems to be my right leg and ankle ahhhhhhhh

Hi Justineanne,

I have pretty bad and constant lower back pain from endo. I'm also a horseback rider, so that makes it even worse! I find a lot of relief from doing lower back, shoulder, hamstring, and butt stretches. It may seem strange to stretch other parts that aren't in pain, but everything is connected and it helps me a lot. It's a simple thing to try anyways! Ice or heat might help too. One more thing that I have tried is adjusting my sleep position. I was always a big stomach sleeper, but that's really bad for your back. I've started sleeping in one of two ways: 1. on my back with a big pillow under my knees 2. on my side with a pillow between my knees. Both of these positions keep your back relatively aligned, so you have less pain. Hope this helps, good luck!

I'm sitting with an ice pack as I type..lol. Lower back has always been brutally sore. Stores sell disposable heat wraps that work really well. It doesn't stop the pain but definitely makes it feel good. I know it's July so a heat wrap may be miserable if you live in a hot area. There are also medicated patches called Salonpas that work awesome. Better than Lidocaine for me. Feel better :)
