Hi,
I am post menopausal, struggling with sleep and night flushes, which I am sure others can relate to.

One thing that has been happening for a while is tender glands under the jaw, it just comes and goes every so often, I can't see anywhere that this is a symptom of menopause, but wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced this before I make an appointment with a GP.
Much appreciated

Are you feeling ok (apart from menopause) usually if you're fighting an infection or,like me,mine can swell because of inflammation down to arthritis,always good to check with your GP though

I wouldn't of thought it's to do with the menopause. It's very easy to assume that any new ailment is because of the menopause.
I'd be inclined to wait & see & monitor it for a few more days - if no improvement then contact your G.P.
Let us know how you get on.

Hi jaypo,
It's strange you should mention the arthritis, I know I have osteoarthritis in my hips and back, but also have it in my fingers too, which hasn't been diagnosed. I have read that Rheumatoid arthritis can cause your glands to swell..is that what you have?? It can't possibly be an infection as it comes and goes periodically, if it was an infection somewhere, then would it not be there all the time?

Yes it's rheumatoid arthritis I have,my fingers and in some of my toes, I also have diverticulitis which is another cause for glands to rise,the joys of ageing
