    Hi, I have leg pain, been to the vascular doctor a few times to have it checked. Of course they never find anything. It also burns as well as my foot. Only one side. I have frozen shoulder which started as pain in the upper arm for many months. Keep moving your shoulder around, like a chicken wing and do rotations. You don't want frozen shoulder, trust me.

    I just found out that I have reactivated EBV virus and think that started because of perimeno. Some feel that hormones going down can cause old things to flare which might be happening with you as well.

      Dear Suzanne

      I have been diagnosed with sciatica which causes leg pain (only one) and possible foot pain /numbness, sciatica being a trapped nerve in back and can cause buttock pain x

    Lizzie, this happened to me at peri menopause. I started to take extra calcium supplements which helped a lot. and estrogen. Apparently when estrogen goes,calcium gets leached out of the body. I went to several doctors, all male, who just said I'm getting old. Fed up with male doctors! A woman finally told me about how estrogen helps protect the bones.I took estrogen for  15 years and loved it. I can't take Estrogen any more because I had breast cancer, but I would gladly redo chemo if I could get my E pills. Try cal-magnesium vitamins.
