Hi, grateful for shared experience. Moved this year to combined HRT. Initially Femonston conti, and most recently patches when they became available, Evoril conti - prescribed by meno consultant. I have had to stop the patches after a month as my legs & joints have become inflamed and retaining water, especially knees in - total agony . The water retention has become so bad that I’m now on water tablets to move it and no HRT - until, it all clears - the worse of all worlds
Has anyone else experienced this - from googling it seems that some oestrogens can cause this? I’m at my wits end as my legs are incredibly sore and all joints from the hips down feel locked - even walking hurts & permanently exhausted - needless to say I’m not much fun. All bloods are normal and I take multivitamin etc.
Appreciative of any help. I’ve been in menopause for 8 years now and had hoped I was coming through it but feel it’s back to square 1. work full time in a really busy job and it’s really hard at the moment
