My newest menopause symptom is my legs will become weak like I'm walking through mud, this happens when I'm least expecting it. Sometimes I feel weak in the knees, trembling also like jelly legs as if I'm going to fall down. I also randomly wake up with heavy leaden legs on some mornings. This scares me so much. Anybody else have this as a symptom?
ive had this for months pretty much on a daily basis including my arms it really is debilitating. most morning i struggle to get out of bed with little motivation, the jelly legs are awful sometimes i have to just sit down because i feel so weak x
Yes! I have had this too!
Yes, it is my arms also that feel weak. I am going to the neurologist today to discuss the possibility of carpal tunnel. I guess it’s pretty common in menopause.
I hadnt had this in a long time, but it’s back with a vengeance today. You are not alone.
I too have this sensation or I feel like my legs weigh 100 pounds apiece very heavy.
yes me too. I’ve recently had this and got my bloods done and my FSH levels are high! I cont even run on the running machine without feeling dizzy! Its horrible! Sometimes my legs just freeze for a second like I cont walk:(
For sure! My muscles feel like they can’t work properly. I started taking a sublingual B12 pill every morning. Has helped a lot with jelly legs.
Sometimes I feel like my arms and legs weigh 500 pounds and its hard to walk. I started taking Super B Complex and it seems to have helped some.
yes me too. It started last year pain in my armpit and then I felt two lumps which were painful! as you can imagine I was beside myself as I went to the breast clinic the previous year as my breasts were always hurting. So I immediately made an appointment and thank goodness I got the all clear. They were superficial lumps! The consultant also said you are going through hormonal changes. Now my arms hurt to my hand like I’ve been weight lifting!
I feel like this today:
Weak, heavy legs
Unmotivated
You are not alone x
thank you for writing this. i recently had a regenerative medicine treatment that involved my endocrine system to produce it’s own HGH etc… it has wrecked havoc on my hormones and i have had weak tired legs for 7 weeks that won’t move everyday. it comes and goes and seems to be improving but just when i think im on the mend it comes back. it’s been debilitating because if i’m out by myself i think my legs are going to give out and i’ll get stuck in the grocery store etc. it’s been so very scary. i cry everyday even though my husband has daily reassured me it’s my hormone imbalance. i just never knew hormones could do this to you. muscles ache like i lifted weights and tingling in hands & upper body. mostly it’s the weakness in my legs and the constant shaking in my body that has me terrified daily. keep thinking that maybe this is going to be permanent? it is so scary. i am meeting with an endochrinologist this week. hoping my hormones just go back to normal after the regenerative medicine treatment wears off. i really hope so. but i am very relieved to hear that this IS from hormones. looking forward to getting mine tested to see what’s off. THANK YOU so much for blogging your experiences. it’s been so hard to find information on this topic.
