Cramps When Not on Period

Is it normal to have cramps when you’re not on your period?

It’s four days after my period so I am not ovulating yet and I’m having cramps. I get cramps often throughout my cycle and then when I get my period the cramps are so bad I can barely breathe. I also get pelvic pain and my back hurts. Everything in that general area aches and is tender to the touch. Massage helps but pain killers do not. A muscle relaxer is the only thing that will provide enough relief that I can function when they get that bad.

Should I be concerned that I’m having cramps, pelvic pain, and back aches at this point in my cycle or is it normal?
