Musculoskeletal Symptoms and Pain not resolving
Just sharing recent experiences and frustration.
I’ve worked hard to get health and weight under control in recent years. Menopause makes things a bit complictated, but I’ve managed well… up until the past few months that is.
The aches and pains are getting ridiculous. I’ve already had shots in my knee, and will likely need shoulder soon. The Ortho says the pain is likely menopausal related, so I followed up with my GYN.
GYN agreed, and subsequently increased my HRT patches, and gave me some stretching exercises. It helped, but only mildly so, and only in combination with an anti-inflammatory diet. Upon follow up, he thought it best I see my PCP for the increasing pain.
Got to see her today, and she’s testing inflammatory markers and other difficiencies just to ensure nothing else is going on internally.
I’m just venting here… this part has been super frustrating. I’m plus size, but very active and this is dampening my spirits.
