Joint pain!!!
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hello anyone else experiencing bad swollen joint pain with the menopause??? I do have R.A. but this is not a flare up, my fingers (thumbs) look like sausages chronically swollen .. And does the winter make your joints hurt worse? My heat has been running a lot with the deep freeze we are in at the moment, and I'm getting no relief. When I get out of bed the bottoms of my feet feel like I'm walking on rocks! And the frozen shoulder pain ugh!! Anyone else with the terrible joint pain/swollen.. What do you do for relief, and what makes it worse.. I feel so awful 😭

Hi Gypsy, I don't have swelling, but definitely joint/body pain, some days more than others but with this cold it has been worse, especially my hands. They are actually tender when I put any kind of squeezing pressure. Doesn't help that I am on a computer all day at work

I recall i had that, i felt like a skeleton walking on bone, my doctor put me calcium pills. Cured the walking issue, I also took glucosamine chondroitin, a good quality one, and that helped with the arthritis. Vitamin c also helps. Maybe try taking some of these supplements, especially the calcium and hopefully you'll feel better.

What brand of what? For calcium buy the oyster shell type, for vitamin C, but the Acerola type, it's natural made from fruit, for the Glucosamine Chondroitin, I bought one called Flex, has a man figure running, in a blue bottle. If something bothers your stomach it means you need to eat when taking it. Regular vitamin c does that, but not Acerola. Same with calcium & Glucosamine Chondroitin. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
