    Yes, I get this too. It comes on suddenly sometimes for a few days, and then goes again. Makes me feel like an arthritic old person.

    Yes, I get that too. Some days it's really bad, then it just disappears. Of course, I get a symptom somewhere else to take its place!!!

    I totally get it. I was terrified when I first experienced the pain (I don't have a very high threshold for pain at the best of times), and I could barely get out of bed. Hopefully the ipubrophen will help you.

    I get this, but I believe it’s sciatic pain. Can happen on either side, but right most often. A PT told me it’s piriformis syndrome. The piriformis muscle gets very tense and aggravated the sciatic nerve. Sending pain shooting down the back of my leg. I have stretches that help. I’m not sure this is meno related, more likely due to a desk job and long commute. Too much sitting!

    I get this also!! When I first got it I thought I had bone cancer or something..it usually happened at night. It comes and goes now..I tried to track when it happened but now it is random...I wonder what this is?

    Hi 

    I’m a newbie here & to peri menopause! I don’t experience lower back pain , however upper back pain I have is excruciating! It comes in some days in a afternoon ( this is why I think it maybe peri related or stress) some days it hurts to breathe ( it’s just below shoulder blades) I try heat ( little relief) people around me think I’m a hypochondriac! Then maybe the next day it’s gone ! I too miss my old self  ! I just want to sleep through it all and be woken when it’s over !! X
