I am having really bad back pains today, and I don't know what to do?!?!
Question:
I am having really bad back pains today, and I don't know what to do?!?
I am only eleven, and I have my period right now. But I have been sleeping on my side every night that I've had my period. It's just a bad habbit when I do have it. But anyways, today the back pain kicked in from my back not getting the comfort it needs. I've tried resting it on the pillowing, laying on my front-side...and back...and still nothing. It aches really badly and my mom gave my Midol (about five minutes ago) saying that it'd make me feel better...and so far JUST PAIN! Anyone have any tips to make my back feel better? Please help! It hurts really bad and now I am getting a stomach ache!!
Answers:
The Midol should help - it works like Ibuprofen, like a muscle relaxer. Try a nice hot bath or a heating pad on your back. Those heated patches that stick to your back really work well too. If it continues past your period, accompanied by frequent peeing or urge to pee - you may want to visit with your mom about seeing a doc.
Feel better - getting your period sucks! : <
