New peri symptom for me - suddenly have sore hips and legs - what have you done for this?

[lily]

Thanks sparkle, will do. Have tried anti infamatory tablets and gel, effervessant tabs with calcium & vitamin d and cod liver oil capsules but still ache 

[lily]

Been having peri stuff going on for about 5 years, getting more intense now and periods getting further apart but longest between has been 4 months.

I have joint aches and was recently found to be low in vitamin D so I tend to agree with Sparkle (there's a surprise  )

Are you on HRT lily?

Hi hurdity

No, not on hrt - does it help with this?

I was having joint aches in my hands, feet and legs for about 2 months.  It was awful, it was driving me crazy.  I read online about taking krill oil pills.  I started them and they went away.  So it was either the krill oil or coincidence.  I know joint aches are awful, I feel for you.

Thanks my2boys99, i haven't heard of that - will see if i can get it

Yes lily - joint aches are one of the classic menopausal symptoms. Obviously diet and exercise should all be improved around the time of menopause but I would definitely recommend HRT if you are suffering, and your periods are now few and far between.
