I have had irregular periods over the past 2 years. I am 52 and recently I have developed lower back pain. Is lower back pain during the menopause permanent?

No, it shouldn't be more than a passing symptom.

Are you drinking plenty of water? Avoiding caffeine and drinking at least 1.5 litres of plain water daily and good hydrating teas like golden rod tea will often help with lower backache.
