Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

It's normal to have back and stomach pain a couple of days after periods especially if you suffer from Gerd or gastritis.

If you were my patient I would recommend to take NSAID, antacids and PPI to relieve your symptoms.

If the symptoms persist after a week you should contact your doctor for further examination to find out what is causing your symptoms.

Wish you health!
