MDMA & Back Pains?

A couple of weeks ago myself and my girlfriend took (pure, lab tested) MDMA for the second time since we took a 6 month break. I took 120mg and she took 60mg, and for some reason after maybe an hour of being up, she started to experience really bad back aches, which worsened over the next hour to the point that we had to head home, and I came down completely from my 120mg because of worrying about her, eventually giving myself back pains from anxiety too.

I'm just wondering what factors could cause this? We took it before a club/rave, dissolved in water and drank it over the course of the hour before we went into the club. It was a really really cold night, and we were freezing on our 10 minute walk from home to the club, could this have contributed to muscle tension resulting in the pain? When we were in the club and coming up we were trying to dance through the come-up but feeling very rigid due to the cold and come-up anxiety so maybe that played a factor too? Another thought was that for some reason we didn't keep on top our water intake this time, drinking probably 1.25 litres each (including the water it was dissolved in) before the time we decided to leave, and I read that this may have caused muscle tension due to electrolyte disturbance. Yet another possibility is that we had two double vodka cokes each, before we started drinking our MDMA solution, so maybe alcohol (and the extra liquid from the cola) played a part as well. We pre-loaded with 600mg ALA, 100mg Grapeseed Extract and 100mg CoQ10.

We are already looking forward to the next time we decide to take MDMA (as this obviously turned out a disappointment), but my partner is worrying about a repeat of these pains. Do you guys think it's as simple as avoiding the cold, excess water and alcohol I mentioned above? Or is there users here who have experienced similar things and know of a cause I may not have considered?

Thanks for your advice :)
 
Could be muscle tension indeed, though I never heard of such acute and severe back pain resulting from it. What's also possible is that the excess water (1.25l at once isn't dangerous, but it is a lot) and other fluids or one of the supplements put a strain on her kidneys, resulting in pain. Kidney pain can sometimes feel like back pain because it radiates out, kidney stones for instance are often diagnosed after an initial complaint of back pain. I couldn't tell you what's more likely or if there are other possible causes, those two are the only that come to mind at the moment. If you want to be sure I would consult a doctor and ask him or her, such acute and severe back pain after taking MDMA is strange
 
I get that sometimes. It's a common side effects from amfetamines, and can be really horrible. It could be too much fluid or too little (not the case here), and also muzzle tension (mentioned above) - could also be something else that is causing it. If the pain is caused by muzzle tention, a mild pain-killer will get rid of it - paracetamol is safe with MDMA.
 
leave the girl at home next time. they always get sick and ruin shit. ....even being on high on mdma can't keep them happy going out somewhere.


also 60mg isn't really enought the break the threshold and really "roll"....even for a lightweight. She probably just didn't roll, if she had 120 she would be having so much euphoria and not really care about her back which probably wouldn't hurt if she was rolling.
