PCOS and Lower back pain

I don't know if its just me or even if these two are related.
As the pain due to PCOS gets worse, I have noticed an increase in lower back pain. I've never really suffered back pain before, but over the past few weeks my back has been really sore.
Can anyone make a connection???

You are NOT alone!

I am currently experiencing the same pain in my lower back, which started as i had the familiar pain around my midsection from the PCOS.

I decided to go to the emergency room after two nights in the row. If the pain is managable, go to your doctor to make sure something else is not going on in there.

I'm definitely with you! It seems like I suffer constant lower back pain. They did find cysts and the doc said something about deferred pain, but a medically savvy relative hinted to endometriosis. I'm in the midst of trying to get a good OB that knows a lot about PCOS, I definitely suggest the same!!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
