Hi all have aches and pains and stiffness in legs and arms and almost feel a stiffness in my jaws. Has anyone else felt this way going through menopause ?? If so what has helped!!
Hello Ali,
My doctor told me it can be due to the drop in Estrogen. I ache, mostly lower back, legs and feet. I'm trying Maca to see if that might help, because I briefly tried an HRT when Peri started to really rear up with ugly symptoms, but I didn't care for how I felt within the first 8 days. Suppose I could have tried something else, but really am trying to do without the HRTs.
I have gone to yoga, was more regular towards end of last year. Wish I could say it helped by going to class 4-5 times a week, it didn't work for me and that was the Gentle classes. Had tried acupunture-too soon to say on that one. So really, aside from taking an occasional pain reliever (over the counter) can't say I have found the magic bullet on this one!
Hope someone else has ideas for you and that you feel better soon.

Yes aches and pains every day it's so annoying! I just try and keep active and every night I do a big stretch (you can hear my back crack!) been told that's ok. Interested if anyone has some good ideas x
Oh wow I never even thought of attributing my aches and pains to menopause. I do a lot of physical labour and thought my upper back pain was related to that.
