Regular Chiropractor treatments are a great idea as Dawn suggests. Also, when was the last time you did a colon cleanse? It may seem an odd suggestion, but the colon is wrapped around the uterus and when it becomes impacted it squeezes the uterus making periods painful, especially in the back. Doing a couple of Colon Cleanses back to back would amaze you at how much better you would feel! After you get your bowels moving regularly, twice daily, you can start right into any colon cleanse. Personally I use Dr. Schultz's #1 formula for keeping regular bowel movements and his #2 Colon Cleanse when I need it. I usually do his Colon Cleanse 2-3 times a year, followed generally by a liver cleanse for a full body "spring cleaning". After the Colon Cleanse if you are still having an difficulty or PMS Dr. Schultz's female formula is absolutely wonderful!! I hope this helps...Caitlin Lorraine
