Anyone?

I have been like that all through my perimenopause so far. I walk like I am 80, there is no way I can run or walk any faster. Its horrible. I just want the end of all this myself, but not holding much hope when others are still going through it all post menopause. I would definitely say it has a lot to do with your hormones

i feel like my ribs are broke on my right side all down my hips. with arthritis now in my ankles..what???? i havent had my period in over 2 years then outta the blue 4 months ago all has fell apart with the anxiety leading the way!!! been to several drs ers u name it..alls fine. im a mess so join the happy menapause train. oh. i havent yet found a dr that will call it menapause they all want to fill me full of meds and send me to a shrink?? im like really?? i had a life a few months ago now my body and mind are kicking my as....u think im making this up?? i damn sure dont like this. i want me back. uuuurrggghhh..so hang in there lol🤗

Yes sore feet and can't figure it out so it's probably the dip in estrogen..And yes at times my body does ache here or there.. Sometimes when i bend down to the floor, I really feel it in my legs..

hi Susane84 - Well, you just described my life, only difference is, i am 7 years post menopause - didnt really start experiencing the tingling, electric shock, burning body parts until about 2 1/2 years ago...first tingling, then electric shocks & then burning body parts started about a year ago. woke up in December of 2018 & could barely walk, went to ER & only thing they could come up with after MrI is that one knee my right was almost bone on bone - Oddly enough, that wasnt really my major complaint, it was the tendons, muscles, ligaments & just plain debilitating pain - i cried it hurt so badly a few times - Well, knock on wood, its about 7 1/2 months later & my legs feel better - i truly think its the crashing of hormones - i think i am going thru this so late because i am overweight & fat carries a lot of estrogen. i had my hormone levels checked at the end of 2017, & the naturopath was surprised that my hormones were a bit low, but balanced, i am sure now the tank is empty - i sincerely hope this is the last hurdle, since i have had every symptom imaginable -

oh & epson salt baths, magnesium glycinol oral & magnesium spray on legs & i doubled up on a good quality Omega - Swimming really helped me - any kind of water therapy -

thank you susane84! oh, & in addition to the achy legs & joints my legs also appeared to be retaining water, but they are not (dr checked) they just look puffy to me - anything else to make this menopause mama look any cuter - OMG!

Weird you mention this as i have just said to my friend that, aching wise, i feel not too bad from the waist up but below the waist i ache like mad and feel my legs have no strength in them. It's been going on for months now as an added issue to all the rest!! I'm on HRT but just feel crap all the time but this leg aching situ is not nice at all.

I too went to see my GP and had all sorts of bloods done plus x-rays... apparently i have very mild arthritis in my hips, which would not cause my aches, but all else is normal... and so it goes on. 😦

Hi Susane and All,

Same for me, but everything between waist and knees so far... hasnt reached the feet yet.

My Mom asked if I had ever taken Glucosamine. Its supposed to help keep joints from being so stiff. think I'll try it and report back.

Thanks to all you lovelies... I would be completely batty if not for you all.

Take care,

Sara
