Anyone have.... - Menopause Message Board

lower back pain with menopause? I do fine walking, etc., it's sitting (I work at a computer most of the day) - I do get up and move around, talk walks, etc. I posted this in the Back Problems forum, but not much help, since not everyone in that forum is in menopause.
I do back exercises (slowly), sleep with pillow between my legs - any suggestions??

YES, it goes and comes, but I definitely have lower back pain. It is worse sitting, and like you, that's what I do all day. I find myself getting up and walking around the building more just to ease the ache.

If you had it checked out, did Dr. recommend anything? Are you taking anything for it now? Advil, Tylenol help a little, but not a whole lot.

No I didn't have it checked out. I really think it is just another menopause symptom. If it were to become chronic and/or unbearable I would probably see a doctor, but not anywhere near that yet. Hopefully it will go away when all the rest of these lovely symptoms do!

d'you think it's maybe an age thing, rather than a menopause symptom? we're all getting older as we go through this, and aches and pains just come with age anyway don't they? just a thought.
