    My legs feel like that everyday. The only way I can describe it is like they feel like they did right before I would get my period, but now it's all the time.

    During my worse weeks (period and week after) I can have a total meltdown and go on a nice crying jag.

    Yes Pauline I have felt what you feel. My legs,shoulder and arms feel achy for me magnesium seems to be helping. I started taking alot of vitamins. Its a scary feeling almost to the point that i thought i had bone cancer sad . Yes things bother me that shouldnt its a weird feeling sad . I have gone through all menopausal symptoms for a year and a half and i feel things are getting a little better you just have to find what works for you. I am on the estradiol patch .025 I wanted to go natural but had not worked for me. I hope you find something soon that will help you everyone is different, Thanks

      Columba84250 I have those exact pains. Legs too but my arm feels heavy and weak and hurts. Mostly my right but occasionally my left too. Did you ever find any relief?

      Hello kelle I went to physical therapy for 3 months. I am better still get that bone ache but it’s not as bad. I got off the patch a month ago. Started feeling  tired but going to gym 3 x a week helps. I stopped the patch because I started getting left breast pain had to stop coffee too 😩. My breast pain is a little better. Right now I am struggling with bad throat ache. Can’t figure out if it’s acid reflux or allergies post nasal drip. I just had an X-ray done last week if my throat I am getting results this week. If it’s not one thing it’s the other. I hope you are well.

    I went through a phase with constantly sore legs and joints.  Definitely there with you on the tired body, feeling all over the place, crying, can't be bothered, etc.  It is all normal, unfortunately.
