been without a periods for a couple of years now and was going along nicely, getting a bit hot under the collar a few times a day but managing ok but a few months ago my wheels started to fall off. my knees now hardly bend, i have terrible neck and shoulder pain and an ache around my lower back and groin that has me hobbling like a 90 year old most days up until about 2 or 3 oclock. i have to swizzle round onto my hands and knees to get out of the bath, when its bad i cant even get on to the loo without freefalling the last part of the drop because my legs and groin hurt so much.
Had tests no rheumatoid or autoimmune arthritis Dr thinks menopause linked and have been taking HRT tablets for past 2 weeks. taking codliver oil and waiting for HRT to do something but was in tears today with the sheer hard work of getting out of bed, getting dressed and getting around. anyone else find this a problem and something that helps.
thanks, flossy
