Side effects from minivelle patch

I've been taking minivelle for menepause symptoms since January, it works great even though I've had tons of side effects, just starting to get constant back pain for the last 2 weeks, I don't know if this is from patch, anyone else get back pain from patch after 5 months? It is a constant dull ache that won't go away even with Advil.

Hi marci49670

I have been on the Minivelle Patches

for 4 years, directly right after I had my

Total hysterectomy. I've had a few hot

flashes, & some other side effects. I

have had a aching back. But I've had

back trouble in the past. So it's hard

for me to say for sure. I am trying to

go off my Patches, so if nothing is

taken or tried in their place we will see?

Blessings,

Jill

thank you for your input, my back pain moves from the left to the right its wierd. Menopause causes so many symptoms I don't want to waste my time going to doc . I thinking of trying to get off patch after 1 year we will see. My doctor doesn't recommend HRT but having 20 plus hot flashes a day,I had to do something.
