Menopause arthritis! Has anyone experienced this after menopause?
Posted , 8 users are following.
hi ladies, I recently have had full on menopause symptoms for a year now.flushes to the stage hat it's really affecting my life.the new thing that's happening for a couple of months now is my joints are getting arthritis in them.my hands especially.i had cancer in my womb so it was all taken away so this means I can't take anything with oestrogen in it as the cancer may come back as there was a small piece left inside.im wondering if anyone is experiencing the arthritis part of menopause as its getting really bad.im 48 and my joints feel 20 years older?
Thanks 😘

Oh I know it's awful but has really helped knowing we are all feeling something as I was thinking this wasn't normal.
