Cramping and birth control?

Question:

About once a week, I get a sharp pain in the small of my back on one or the other side. It lasts for a second then goes away. As I get closer to my period, I think that it happens slightly more frequently.
Has anyone ever heard of month-long cramping?

Answers:
If you have a sharp pain once a week in the small of your back I would consider seeing a chiropractor or a massage therapist and see if that helps. If it is once a week then I don't think it is related to your menstrual cycle. However, if you are having month long cramping due to your menstrual cycle then you should see your OB/GYN. Keep in mind if you are having sharp pains near/around your ovaries then it is possible that you may have an ovarian cist. These can occur and be absolutely nothing...your annual pap smear can detect cists. Again, just keep in mind what exactly is hurting...your ovaries or the muscles in your back. Heaven-forbid you get misdiagnosed because your doctor didn't receive enough information from you as the patient. Best wishes & Good luck!

YOU SAID SHARP PAIN.....A CRAMP IS NOT A SHARP PAIN.
MAYBE A MUSCLE SPASM..
