What Causes Back Pain During Periods?

Hello,
I have been on my period for a bout 2-3 days now and for about an hour or two i was having a really bad back pain, almost like cramps. But every few minutes it would get worse and worse then stop and start again. So I took a midol and ended up having to go to the bath room. I took out my tampon and then wiped my vagina and on the toilet paper was a about a half dollar size ball looking thing that was kinda gray with dark blood spots and i moved it around and it ended up breaking apart to lay flat, my back pain went away but now im scared to wonder what it could be.
Please and thank you,
Britt.
