IM, I am not a doctor or psych-doc, and I have never played one on TV.
In fact I have only played a few things, and all on stage. In "You Can't Take It With You", I played the son and xylophonist, and in "The Crucible" I played an evil town authority.
So I am completely a lay person on this. But you have had soooo much stress in recent times. I wonder how much of your back pain AND perimenopause are actually stress-related and not an actual injury.
I know that this is not uncommon. The mind-body connection, you know, is more powerful and complicated than we think. Like when I went on psych drugs for panic, my life-long battle with irritable bowel disorder magically went away and never came back. That's some powerful mojo.
I also know that in times of stress, my body has done some damn weird-ass things to me, and back pain was a part of that, to the point where I just had to lie down flat sometimes. But it wasn't an injury. It was all muscles tightening up and eventually they caused pain.
