I'm not sure if this is the right board for this. For the past month, I have had lower back pain and some pain and pressure in my lower abdomen. I am 51 and have had fairly normal periods. This month my period is a week late but this is not much of a concern since I have not had intercourse for months, and given my age, it could very well be perimenopause. I'm just becoming concerned about the abdominal pain. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms?

Welcome Deb.


I have not experienced these symptoms, though my first thought was also peri-menopause, however it could be thatyou were experiencing symptoms from a virus or other condition as well.

Hi. My condition is much improved since I posted. The lower abdominal pain is pretty much gone and the back pain isn't as nagging. I still have not got a period, so I am thinking that all of this is just a part of perimenopause. I'm sure there are lots of not so fun things to come, but at least I'm not worried anymore.

I'm glad you're feeling better and no longer worried.


I too have been experiencing peri-menopausal symptoms in recent months, including hot flashes!
