Q: Back Pain/nerve Damage On Yasmin????
asked by: hard5150rock on June 14th, 2006

Anyone have this? It's lower back pain...Kind of like a dull pain, with occassional sharp pains depending on my movments. Basically it feels like I need an adjustment, badly. I read a post on here the other day about someone who had had back pain while on yasmin and it ended up giving them permanent nerve damage...And now that I think I may be having a similar issue, I can't find the post.

I'm like 90% sure that this is yasmin....I've been on other bc's...And no backpain!

Can anyone give me some insight? Or maybe someone knows where that post is?

Thanks!!

I think I had backpain on yasmin also, but I think I was getting backpain despite the birth control because it's not uncommon to get one due to onset of your period.

No, this back pain is all throughout the month....It's not at the onset of a period.

And it's becoming unbearable.

I would definitely go to the doctors then. Even if insurance doesn't cover the visit, if something is wrong it will be even more expensive to fix it, and also it may be better to get it off your mind.

Who knows, maybe they can give you something for it, or even confirm it's the yasmin! I wish I could be more help, but the 7-8 months I was on yasmin is a total blur, I was a mess. It wouldnt surprise me if the backpain was related, and it might be a good idea to go a website search with the question "backpain related to yasmin?"

Here is something I posted to you at the start of wondering about taking yasmin:

i was on yasmin 8 months and would not recommend it to anyone. Not one person!

I became a completely different person on it. Here is a great site:

http://www.Medications.Com/go/se/yasmin

i still recommend checking out that site. Yasmin is on the worstpills.Org list as well. It should be recalled, in my opinion. It works wonderfully at preventing pregnancy, but it ruins your body and mind. Ever birth control has risks, and everyone reacts differently, but it just seems the cons outweigh the pros.

I would definitely have a talk with your dr and show him this article and insist that he change your b/c and ask him/her(your dr) about it. Keep an eye on it in case it gets worse as I am not a Dr. And I have not used yasmin. If your dr has prescribed it to you, more then likely the dr has prescribed it to others.
Good luck

I always tell everyone, go with what your body says, not what your doctor says. Although everyone needs a health care provider, they're not infallible. I told my health care provider at school that yasmin was on the worst pills list and they looked at me as if I was crazy and told me I was wrong and that the symptoms I had been feeling were insane.

Listen to your bodyyyy
