I had always had some backache or anterior thigh heaviness/aching prior to menses. Of course I could understand w/the abdominal/back part as the my uterus is retroverted and of course the uterus swells a bit so structure is slightly bigger, and the cramps, which I seemed to mostly get back cramps vs. abd. cramping over the years.
Worsened with onset of menopause, esp. towards the end of perimenopause however, with menopause, finally this has been relieved.
So what was that, started menses at 14, ended at 49.. hmmm, just 35 years w/similar symptoms as you've mentioned!!!
Oh yes, what really helped tho was taken off the market was Vioxx. Knocked that cramping back pain during menses right out!!!
