I am on day 36 of cycle and no period and ive been having the most severe back pain. I was having the burning sensation with it, that has calmed down. But the pain is still there. It feels like its deep into the muscle , and today I noticed around the right shoulder blade it is very sore. Even the bones feel sore. Certain foods brings it on, i am afraid to eat. Also a hot flash brings it on. It feel so tight and achey...I have hurt so much that its putting me in a depression state. The whole month has been pain and discomfort.

    Hi Mary27278,

    I get this too. Do you have reflux? Believe it or not heartburn pain can refer toward the back. I get that in my neck and back between the shoulder blades and chest. Right before my period started a few days ago, my reflux gave me a fit.

    Try taking an antacid and see if it calms down then you have your answer. If it doesn't calm down or gets worse go see your doctor. Hope this helps.

      Hi Sharcerv, yes i do have gerd, and a hiatal hernia and guess what? I did what you suggested , first i had a really good bowel move (sorry for tmi) , I immedaiately felt relief. Afterward, i took an antacid and wow! Did it make a huge difference, YES! Could this have been the problem? I know i had the problem before but not to this extreme. Before, when i released gas or decreased acid the burning and pain stopped. Looking back at my journal, this symptom was always during period or month of a missed period (the whole month). Thank you for your suggestion.❤

    Been feeling this way for years. Just worse with no period since October of last year. I have all but 2 of the usual symptoms of peri.

    Saw my gyn yesterday for bloodwork. Pelvic ultrasound tmw. He said he will get to the bottom of this for me. Planning BHRT or HRT. Life as we know it is NOT working!

    I use heating pad, rice bag, and deep blue muscle cream. I like to describe this sometimes as my mom did prior to hysterectomy: "IT FEELS LIKE MY INSIDES ARE FALLING OUT!"😲

    All i can say is i missed my period this month and the bloating ,indigestion and back pain was the worst. I think things can still inflame in our pelvic area and cause pressure in our backs with sketchy periods just like when we are having our cycles. I even had mild cramping but still no period. Maybe theres something more going on but im going to the doctor for check .
