Re: back pain - thanks girls

Endo pain can often radiate to your back...sometimes all of my pain is
in my back. For awhile I thought it was my kidney but the doc said that
since your organs are in the middle the pain can go either to the front
or back. Always safe to mention it to your doc but back pain has
plagued me from the days when I just had bad cramps. My heating pad is
my best friend, whenever I'm sitting I just put it on my back and it
usually really helps the pain.
