Menopause? Muscle pain, weakness and strains.
Posted , 17 users are following.
Hi. Although I have been tested and told I am not menopausal my body is telling me different. For 2 years now I have been getting more and more pain in my muscles, mainly arms, shoulders and hands.
My legs are bad first thing, I really hobble when I first get up. I've also had to pay many visits to the physio to help with strains and muscle problems., in fact amongst my friends it's a bit of a joke how easily I get injured.
On doing research it appears it could be a symptom of menopause. I'm 51 so the right age, I do get hot flushes and my nails are dreadful, flakey and splitting. Am I just going mad? Is it just my age? Or could it really be hormonal? Anyone with similar experiences?
I'm 51 and sometimes feel 91, it can't be right!!!

I took glucosamine & Chondritin, which helped get rid of my pain.

YES menopause symptoms continue into post. I am 56 years and post menopause according to my blood tests. It seems to get worse with age.

YES. Very common symptom. I have pains in my arms , hips and legs as I write this message. I try not to complain but sometimes its hard when you are a mum. REMEMBER YOU are not alone. Welcome to MENOPAUSE.
