Hi..
Welcome to HCM..
thanks for the query..
the pain in the back and legs during menstruation is due to contraction and spasm of muscles..
you can take antispasmodic like dicyclomine with combination of mefenemic acid (meftal spas) which works better during periods than any other pain killers..
Keep yourself well hydrated and take rest..
if the pain persists even after period kindly do consult the doctor.
hope this information helps you ..
take care.
