I'm 54 and perimenopausal, having only ever missed one period, in April this year. I've been suffering from just about every peri symptom under the sun for a few years...they come and go and I never know what particular delight is in store each month. This month, I have a terrific shoulder pain in the night which is giving me serious problems sleeping. At the same time I got stabbing breast pain from the day my period started on the same side, which has since subsided but still feels a bit uncomfortable.
Has anybody else had this? I can't get through a night without ibuprofen, paracetamol, heat patches etc. It only happens at night and it's seriously driving me mad!
