Hi,
I have been suffering and waking up with horrible joint and lower back pain (sometimes burning upper back pain when lying down too). Extremely stiff in the morning and constantly wincing and squealing when trying to get out of bed.
It's been like this moreso since I hit my 40s (I'm 45 now).
I am taking lenzetto 1.5 pumps a day and have an IUD in for progesterone. HRt had been a godsend since it's pretty much alleviated my panic attacks, shortness of breath, vertigo and all the many other symptoms. Now it's just my bones (or musculoskeletal?)
I have also booked an appointment for blood tests to make sure I'm not deficient in anything.
Ladies, I need some suggestions. Are there any supplements I can take that will help alleviate the pain? as it takes me a good while to warm up in the morning and then it's a repeat the next day. Not great when you have to get ready and go to work either.
Also feels like my sciatica is on the verge of coming back and trying to prevent this.
Been looking into glucosomine, iron tablets (since I've become pretty much pescatarian/vegetarian).
Other than that I'd say I'm pretty fit and healthy.
Just the joint pain is getting me down a lot that sometimes I'm in tears as its ruining my quality of life.
Also wonder if anything I'm consuming can be contributing to joint pain. Lots of questions and it's difficult getting an appointment to chat to a GP when you need it these days!
Open to any suggestions x
