Does anyone taking Loestrin 24 Fe have lower back pain. I have a feeling in my lower back area that I need to be very careful how I move as to not move the "wrong' way and my right hip hurts. I had the Mirena and with complications the Dr. put me on this pill for 3 months to try solve my bleeding problems with the Mirena. I started having back pain. i thought it was the Mirena. I have been off the pill for a month and I decided to have the Mirena removed last week. He started me back on the pill and i am having back pain again along with nausea and headaches. My back actually "caught" on me this morning and took me 2 hours to stand again. Thank God I was at home. I call the GYN and they say the back pain is not related to female problems. I originally went to my Primary doctor with the back problem and he did a CT scan and x-ray- all came back good. My back only seems to hurt when my stomach is cramping. Can't get my GYN to understand. anyone else having these back problems? ******
I often experience lower back pain when I'm cramping during my period but haven't noticed it any more so on Loestrin. I found out a few years ago that my Uterus is tilted towards my back which gives me more lower back pain.
