    i had an operation on my left shoulder for wear and tear a few years ago and it wasnt until i started with all these menopause symptoms that its started to hurt again with pains running down my fore arm and pins & needles that along with pain in my ribs and breast bone i just think its all hormone related as along with the pain in my arm i have racing heart so instantly thought i was having a heart attack until i read a lot of the same symptoms on this site iam 46 tomorrow and feel 96 and along with menopause anxiety i think we all feel like we are falling apart iam going to try multi vits when i go shopping as your vitamin levels also drop with hormone drop and calcium is hit hard with the menopause.i also use deep heat or heat patches on mine and that helps a lot, hope your felling better soon xx

    Yes i had the joint pain started in my knees and has slowly gone round every joint in my body. Was incredibly painful at times. Even had it all the tiny joints in my toes and walking was just awful for a while. Almost 3 years in and i still get it from time to time but its no where near as bad and never last as long either, so hang in there it does improve. Im at the stage where my periods keep stopping and starting... so near the end. Ive also had issues with shoulders. Woke up one morning with a frozen shoulder and couldn't lift my arm at all. That took 6 months of exercise and slow stretching to get full range back. But i have to say the pain was horrendous at times. I always say if in doubt get things checked even if its just for piece of mind, but there is so much down to hormones at this stage you feel like you are dropping to bits.

    Hi Karen

    I had hysterectomy 3 years ago and i have never felt my oldself since . I have hrt patches to help with symptoms but i have aches and pains daily forgetful can't sleep . I was prescribed a drug after a heart attack atorvastatin that made my whole body ache so it could be a medication or just good old menopause . I put epsom salts in my bath and lavender oil helps a little .Hope it improves x

Something i didn't want to hear at all the anethatist doing the first surgery damaged my vocal chord so i have a husky voice now that can't be fixed. Really struggling to make a decision
