Brief Answer:
ultrasound is a must
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, I understand your anxiety related to the issue.
In my opinion most probably you have entered your perimenopausal transition and thus upcoming menopause is the reason for the menstrual irregularity and bone pains.
But still you definitely need an ultrasound and certain blood tests to see for the cause.
Don't be afraid of them as the probe is designed for the curves of a normal vagina so nothing to worry.
Take care.
