    Hi Nina20271,

    I am post meno and I did have the same thing as you for a while. It has subsided but will occasionally come back. I am on BHRT and that seemed to happen when my progesterone dosage was out of whack (seemed like it happened when progesterone was too high compared to estrogen). What I remember helping me was drinking hot lemon water every morning before food or coffee, increasing Vit D and I started taking Omega 3 vitamins a few times a week (not daily). Hope that helps!

    Hi Nina, the only thing that has worked for me is cutting out sugar and eating a clean diet. Boring as hell but it remedied the problem. I've also had to cut out Gluten. Do you keep a food diary? Lots of foods can cause joint problems. Sugar is a nightmare for arthritis.

    Vitamins only work if you avoid caffeine around 2 hours either side of taking them or eating healthy food. I've been reading up on tea and coffee being massive inhibitors of absorbing certain vitamins if you're low in them, inparticular, vit D and Iron. I couldn't understand why they weren't working. Obviously caffeine doesn't affect people who haven't got any vitamin deficiencies.

    I hope you find something that works. Take care. x
