What Causes Cramps On Lower Back?

SO i have these horrible cramps in my lower back and I went to use the bathroom and a big clot, between nickle and quarter sized, came off of the tissue..and i was wearing a regular tampon. This happens every time so i just wonder if that s normal or not. Also, i cant seem to stop gaining or lose weight since i had my baby 3 years ago, no matter how much I exercise or eat right, so i want to know if the two might be connected

Dear- thanks for using our service and will give you my medical advise. Sometimes , if you have heavy menstrual period,you can have some clots or blood getting out although you have a tampon. You want to make sure that this is not a problem having your regular pap or cytology test with your doctor.The back cramps are coming from your menstrual period , some women are more prone to others , but is considered normal, unless it is a new problem . The problem with weight could be secondary to alterations in the hormones as hypothyroidism , so I suggest to check blood levels of TSH . You can go to your regular doctor for that and he/she can order the blood test.
I hope that my advise has been helpful.
