Back Pain and Period

by justchar, Jun 18, 2007 12:00AM
For the past several of months I've been having back pain a couple of days to a week before my period.  The first two days of my period my lower back will ache moderately to severely and also my abdomen.  After the first two days then I will have no pain.  I had a baby 14 months ago by c-section and prior to that never had problems with cramps or back pain.  

This month my back pain started on the 6th and I still haven't had a period yet, but usually do around the 15th.  Is this common to have pain so far before my period, I know typically one or two days prior is normal.  My pain also seems worse lying down then standing up.  Today though after I had a bowel movement my back felt better but this is the only time that it has aliveated my back pain.  I don't know whether to go to my gynocologist or gastroenterologist.
