Perimenopause Horrific Period cramping

I just realized last December that all my bizarre symptoms are due to perimenopause.

Anyway, my newest symptom is horribly painful period cramps.

I have a retroverted uterus so the pain is 90% in my back during my period, but dang...i don't remember ever having cramps this painful. 

Anyone else?

    I have pain in the front and after numerous ultrasounds the radiologist are considering Pelvic Congestion syndrome where tbe varicoius veins have a slow blood flow and cause pain. And it is terrible chronic pain. I’m heading to the Gyn on the 1rst and see what they can do

    Dear trinity

    Running up to peri I remember having the worst period cramp ever, I too have a retroverted uterus, the pain felt as bad as a contraction, thankfully that ever only happened to me once!
