Members confirmed that endometriosis commonly causes lower back pain, particularly before periods, with several sharing that their back pain intensified after diagnosis or when their uterus is retroverted. Many members found relief through NSAIDs, topical Voltaren, chiropractic care, massage therapy, and pelvic floor physical therapy, which can help reposition a tilted uterus and reduce pain.
