muscle aches
Posted , 16 users are following.
Hello all,
I don't know if anyone else ever experienced this but I am not sick but just have muscle aches all over randomly. I'll get achy in my hands and feet. Then the next day I'll have aches in my legs and arms. I feel like a hyprochrondriac beacuse I don't have a fever but just generally feel unwell. Can this be related to hormones?

Yep I have the leg aches terrible at times
Like you overdone exercise n strained muscles but burning type pain
My feet were terrible back in November
Then my back n in February I was struck down for some reason with excruitiating pain in both my knees causing me to not be able to walk without hanging onto anything having to lean against the work top in the kitchen even crawled at some point horrendous
At present I feel I have no energy my legs feel like they can't take my weight ( I've lost 3.5stone) sine dec n feel dreadful
I've just had 1 week ago an arthoroscopy to my left knee n I'm hoping it's going to help but I have this nagging doubt it won't I'm in great deal of discomfort trying to get meself going n to get bk to how I was
Hope yu feel better soon xx

i know exactly what you're talking about! I get aches on and off too. Right now it's lower back pain but sometimes all my joints ache. My heating pad has become my best friend! It's horrible, I know, but yes it definitely can be hormone and menopausal related! We all think menopause is Hot Flashes, weight gain and no periods! Then all of a sudden all these strange symptoms hit that no one ever told us about!! Ugh!! Hang in there!!! We're all here to help each other through it!!

mine started 18 months ago. I was taking strong painkillers daily, with minimal help. I had many tests, diagnosed with fibromyalgia, secondary to menopause. Acupuncture has taken the majority of my problems away, hardly need painkillers anymore.
A very good book explaining why we get these symptoms related to oestrogen depletion "screaming to be heard" Dr Elizabeth Vliet. Incidentally 70% of people diagnosed with fibromyalgia are ladies of peri/menopausal age.
Give acupuncture a go, I haven't looked back.
good luck
Viv

I've been reading a lot about Vit D3. It helps regulate hormones. Although, as a gardener, I am outside a lot, I know I don't get as much sun exposure as I need to make Vit D3 (coats in the winter and sunscreen in the summer) I think that we, in the West, don't have nearly enough of the stuff. So I've just started taking a supplement.
A friend says since she started taking it her nails are growing faster and she has to 'do her roots' more often. So it's doing something!
