Would i be mean if I said, "Welcome to the club"
Yes indeed its a big symptom that ive heard and experience periodically myself. Its like youve developed fibromyalgia overnight.
Do not be concerned, its just the menopause..aches pains, trying to go through the changes..
I wish i had another answer, but its just what it is.

I've also been taking rosehip supplements for last 3 months, seems to be helping my achy knee and hip.

Sorry Karen I didn't realise it was so painful. Do you think it could be coming from your neck? Maybe check or change your pillow height? I had disc problems in my neck and Physio and chiropractor helped. Plus Pilates helped correct my posture.
Hope it settles soon xx

Hi Maisie no need to apologise. I think it's the way I sleep cause I am so tense when I go to sleep due to anxiety. Gonna try a v shaped pillow tonight for head and shoulders xx

Yes Karen, all part of the menopause, it seems there are so many different symptoms we get. One goes another appears ? I've had those symptoms often they weren't all the time would come & go. I coped well with many symptoms ... then hot sweats & anxiety Hrt put a stop to this thank goodness.

Yes, the worst part is perimenopause when your hormones are fluctuating. I got very sore feet and elbows. I'm post menopausal now, and my feet still feel achy unfortunately.
