    Yes unfortunately it is common. Not just general body aches but sometimes for me the pain is more specific - my old sciatica makes a regular appearance, pain in wrists and thumb (I should probably attribute it to my computer work ), pain in left breast / armpit that shoots the anxiety thru the roof...you name it, I have it or had it.

    Been having all these for around 5 years now. Come Jan end, I am hoping to finally cross the threshold to menopause,. But don't know what new gifts that will bring with it.

    Am 53 and everything started in my mid 40's...around when I was 46-47. Getting old never bothered me till the hellish peri symptoms started appearing with a vengeance!

    Hang in there... I think we will see the other side with a pain-free life.
