I had cramp pains and pretty sever bloating and I tried some diets and to figure it out. Ended up going to the doctor and had a colonoscopy and an upper scope done. Turns out I had the beginning stages of an ulcer. Weird because it didn't hurt up high by my stomach and didn't really make sense, but after I had suffered with the pains for over 6 months, I took the antacids (similar stuff to prevacid), and within 2 weeks I felt 100% better. I took the meds for 2 months and have only had to use them 2 other times. AMAZING!
I had the same problem! It seems like your period never goes away or your just waiting to get it. I was put on YAZ birth control to help regulate and that seemed to help a lot. Also keeping hydrated helps with the pain.
You may be experiencing symptoms of a bladder infection. I had this happen to me years ago and that's what it felt like for me. I never would have never suspected that. Visit your Dr. to rule this out.
Take care :o)
