Severe back pain, abdominal cramping, altered menstruation. Are these related? Need to get checked?
Patient: Hello.  I have been having really bad lower back pain for about 4 days now and abdominal cramping on my right side for 2. The last two months of periods have been off a bit being a whole week early and been mostly very light with one heavy day. This past one has been over almost a week and I am still seeing light brown discharge. I don't know if my back pain and the abdominal pain are connected cause we had a serious cleaning day at my house and I may have just used the muscles too much and the abdominal could be ovulation cramps?  I just was wondering should I wait to see if the symptoms go away themselves or should I really see a doctor about them?  And what does it sound like is wrong? Thank you.  :-) Doctor: As it sounds to be a typical backach after a hard day so u should take some pain killer and antispasmotic and do rest for atleast for 3 days ,and if the pain doesn't goes then see ur doctor
