For the past week and a half, I have had migraines. (Just after O'ing) To the point of actually crying one night after taking pain killers and they travel around my head.
For the past few nights, my lower back has felt 'swollen' and is aching - a few years ago, the Dr who sent me for an Xray for Scoliosis said there were signs of arthritis.
Wondering if the 2 are related?
I have a feeling my lower back is suffering a bit of arthritis from the cold weather?
It could be. I have lower back issues - a disc that prolapses frequently (or did until I did extensive rehab) and has compression touching nerves. It affects my lower two discs (L4/L5 and L5/S1). I get that swelling filling in my lower back when AF is due or my disc slips. I get migranes when a disc hits a nerve more than normal. I also get them when my body compensates for pain by adjusting my posture and gait. It's a viscous circle. But if the migrane is persistent, you should really get it checked out. A massage or osteo treatment might help greatly with the migrane and also with the lower back. Arthritis is definatley a killer in this colder weather. Mine is also playing up big time and we've just adjusted my meds which has actually got me feeling better than ever before!
