The pain can be sever some months and other mild but the pain is chronic i have it every day i did all the tests that comes out clear except that i have low estradiol level and high fsh does low estradiol can cause neck tention ?

    Maybe you have anxiety causing these symptoms.

    If it is from low estrogen, maybe try the birth control pill and see if these symptoms go away? Then you would know for sure.

      Thank you for your comment . I don't have anxiety at all but as i said it happened in 2nd day of my period . I have low estradiol how can i take birth control pills ? The pils have progestron only and my proplem is with estradiol not progestron !! Thank you for your time.

      Do you mean the estrogen patch ?

    There are bc pills that have both estrogen and progestin. Thought maybe if you try that, and regulate your hormones your symptoms might lessen. I’d ask a gyn.

      Hmmm i think you are right i should take that type of pills to find if my syptoms stop . Gyn in my country coast a lot of money i think i will go to a pharmacy and see what he will tell me thank you for ur replay .

    I think that you need to see your gyn. Are your periods regular? Maybe you have a primary ovarian failure, a condition that the ovaries don’t produce the sufficient amount of hormones and we need to take these hormones with exogenous hormones.

    Yes my fsh level is 15 and it shouldn't be in these range and im still a girl but what is the exogenous hormones ? I will go to see a gyn soon i hope he can help me with that too .

    If our ovaries cannot produce the hormones we should have then we have to take them with pills or patches. Something like diabetes, if you have not insulin, you have to take it with an exogenous way.

    I’m in the same boat but older than you and I am on hrt. Take care! smile

      I had insomnia, insulin intolerance, body aches, bone aches, night sweats, dry mouth, dry eyes and forgetfulness. My FSH a year ago was 12 and after some months was 35! My first gyn left me without help and I was in despair. I visited another and he said that I have to take hrt immediately cause the lack of estrogen at young ages can cause severe problems at our health later in life. I feel like my old self on hrt, it took me about 3 months to adjust and it’s great. My only concern is that I don’t want to stop it! I want it forever! 😂

      Hello Vicky,

      ?when your fsh reached 35 your periods had stopped altogether? 

      ?Did you have any initial side effects on the pill? What do you mean "adjust to it" ?

      ?I am asking because I have read many women who had terrible headaches and exhibited severe depression on the pill and had to stop it...there are conficting experiences!!

      ?

      Although, It is very encouraging that you feel better on it!smile

The strange think is that my pain comes and go or become sever before my period i mean my neck flares up 4 minute and leave suddenly like i dont have pain !!

      Hi! I had regular periods but too severe symptoms. Our body needs time to adjust to the new hormonal state. It takes time for it! Believe me the majority of gyns have no idea! It was very hard for me to find a treatment and I consulted a lot of gyns and endocrinologists but I finally found an informed one! smile

    This could definitely be hormone related since I have had the same symtoms since getting my mirena inserted in september 2017. Three days after having it inserted I developed severe neck tension, headache, tension and pain between my shoulder blades, jaw pain, a sore lymph node behind my jaw, brain fog and more. It was at its worst the first two months after insertion, then these symptoms (+ other symptoms) have flared up every month with ovulation. Now I have recently had it removed to see if it gets better. Have you had any other symptoms besides the neck pain?

      It's strange that you syptoms become worse after taking the patch may be if you changed you will feel better . My neck tention started as i said 1.5 years ago in a regular day and it become chronic some days i dont have the pain but other days it comes suddenly without any reasons after that i other syptoms have came like less conecntration / feeling im going into a coma / fatigue / heart palpitation / sadness / pain in ovaries before periode / very dry eye * some months / light periode that last 1 and half day / insominia / body ache / restlessness / sore muscles / sever back pain *some months and the most chronic pain is neck tention and shoulder if it become sever i can feel it in my throat and chest . It's like having inflammation the strange thing is that it can just go away without any reason so i searched in the net they say it's maybe cuz the hormones change at any time . As i said i have low estradiol and high fsh . There was a women who said that your hormones is just like a women at her 37 years old which mean perimenopause .
