    That happened to me when I was on peri. My fingers and the joints would swell so much I couldn't wear my ring. And I'm not overweight at all. The doc checked me for all kinds of things. And I even ended up with a trigger thumb and had to have surgery. But I'm post meno now and all that has gone away. So hang in there. I believe it was just the fluctuation of my hormones.

    Hi Lesley, yes I do swollen ankles for about a year now, the doctor said it's my tendon. The pain started know my hands about a month ago while on holiday could not move fingers in my right hand, now it's in both. Not a good day today could not even lift a cup. Bring referred to a Rheumatologist. Also liver function tests a little high was 134 2 wks ago now 205 not that concerned apparently could be lots of things but being sent for a scan. I am just convinced it's to do with the menopause with hie quick it has all come on. Any advice for pain relief would be could. I do sympathise with you lit'seems hard sometimes to get through a day. Good luck
