    My knees hurt terribly right before my period too, I thought I was the only one.....actually I am 37 weeks pregnant and still get the pain around the time I should get my period!!

    My arthritis always flares up worse than normal when my period is due, apparently it is due to increased blood flow round the body or something along those lines (it may even be decreased can't remember now lol I did ask once tho!!)

    Yes, women get all sorts of aches and pains at this time. Keep a hormonal diary to keep track of how you feel during each cycle
