    Hi wendy, my left knee used to hurt snd swell up bad sometimes. I had an x-ray done on it. It showed arthritis in my knee. Since I stopped eating a lot of sugar and carbs, I have not experienced any swelling or pain for several months.

    I read an article about how sugars and refined carbs causes inflammation in the body. It must have been true for me. I notice that when I start to eat sugars and refined carbs again, my knee starts bothering me again.

      Sugar is very inflammatory. I was reading last night about it's role in cancer. Cancer cells thrive on sugar - another good reason to give it up!

    I think when your body is going through hormone changes, you really got to take care of it. Peri and Meno really forced me to pay attention to diet and stress.

    I have also had this..Besides that spacey feeling I get.. this is the worse. Went to the doctor again about it and she said by this age we all have arthritis in our back and body to some degree. I felt so achy at night ..my right leg..off and on for years. It went away as soon as I went to doc appointment.She wants me to go to physical therapy for a few months. Its bascily sciatic. When it's inflamed it flares up..hormones going up and down. I have made so many changes to my lifestyle since this change has begun. Its a time for gentleness with ourselves and living life a whole different way.

    Yes. Mostly in my legs and knees. Any kind of physical activity I do which isn't much, I feel a lot of pain. Like I got run over by a truck. Especially my knees. Any time I have to get down on my knees its painful getting back up, stairs are a killer too. I'm out of shape though, and a bit over weight tio so pretty sure I f I can lose some of this belly fat it might alleviate some of the pain. Could be old age though too. I font know, but I feel like I'm 90 yrs. Old.

    Hi Wendy....somedays i feel like i have been run over by a truck...I literally ache all over. Its more muscular not bone and I really feel it in my ribs and arms...sometimes lower back. It comes and goes randomly...regardless of physical activity. I had blood tests once where my muscle enzymes were elevated but the doctor wasnt concerned.

    Mind you they don't seem concerned about much. I even got a referral to a rheumatologist....he said all was fine so still no diagnosis so once again chalking it up to peri sad
