Heat might help, but if it's affecting your walking then it's best to see a doctor.

Hey, you can get a thing called a tens machine. Im not sure how it works, it sends little electrical signals or something. You just put it on where the pain is and switch it on. It works really well on me when I get sore backs during my period. It vibrates and tingles a bit tho. Feels really wierd the first time you use it but it does work. Im not sure how much they are as my mum bought mine but I have a feeling the bigger ones can be expensive. You can get them from chemists and stuff usually. Il have a look, see if I can find you a link.

Heres the official website. But the ones on here all look a lot more complicated and scary than the one I have. Id go to a chemists/pharmacy and ask them about it, could probably be more helpfull sorry.

As lea says, heat can help, curling up with a hot water bottle can be really soothing :yes:

How long do they usually last? Might be worth chatting to your doctor if it's really unbearable.
