Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Your history is very much suggestive of a uterine prolapse.
I would advise you to have an examination by the gynecologist , wherein she should examine by per-speculum examination while straining to see if there is descent of uterus with / without that of urinary bladder and / or rectum.
She would also find a cause for the pain without actual menses.

Ultrasonography and other blood and urine test will help in proper diagnosis by ruling out other causes of your feeling and problems.
I find this answer helpful
