muscle fatigue/aches and travelling from muscle to muscle
Posted , 11 users are following.
Hi I have been reading this thread and was absolutely amazed that there is muscle aches and pains with other women writing here going through menopause. I am 62 with Mulitple Sclerosis. and it was boggling my mind that the legs were aching and paing just like i had just run 17 - 100 metre dashes.Thought it was MS but it just did not make sense(after 35 years i know my MS)...and then I had two days of Heart Burn like a Volcano and found this Forum and read about Heartburn problems and Muscles Aching.
My question --- does anybody know absolutely for sure that there travelling aches and pains in their muscles are from Menopause-- I had to stop exercising as my legs were so sore....I do reocognize after 8 years of exercise it is the key for a low maintenance menopause

I can only talk for myself and say I am more lethargic and not interested in thinking too hard. I have to push myself a lot harder to keep my eye on the "ball".

When I went into menopause I didn't have the night sweats and hot flashes that many women do. The only and big symptom was chronic muscle and ligament pain. It was horrible. I couldn't roll over, lay on my side for more than 4 minutes, walk normally, etc. It effected every part of my life. My muscles and ligament were constantly on my mind with every move of my body.
Then came the vaginal atrophy and dryness. I was given vaginal Estrace for this problem. I pushed myself to use it regularly, and low and behold ALL THE PAIN WENT AWAY. Even the nodules on the sides of my finger went away. So it's pretty hard to tell me that lack of estrogen wasn't my problem. I had seen a dozen physicians of every type, had extensive testing, and even an MRI, begging for help. No one ever suggested it could be lack of estrogen. All I know is that I haven't had that muscle/ligament pain since.
Hope this helps.

I'm glad it's working for you. Do you take progesterone tablets as well. I've been on HRT 12 weeks now. A lot of things are easing but still have really bad headaches .
