[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ huh?

What made you stop exercising pre-HRT?

I’ve been an athlete my entire life and workout 6 days/week and I’m 55- no HRT.

Just curious to what was correlated w/ your inability to exercise pre-HRT and what changed after it

So much joint pain, stiffness like I’ve never had in my life, quick to injure myself, and recovery took forever. Felt like I was moving like the walking dead. Constant PT.

Estrogen has made movement easier — like my joints and muscles are more supple. Apparently musculoskeletal effects are a big issue in some menopausal women. Apparently I am one of them. [/quote]

Are you telling me that aging men don’t experience joint pain and stiffness? Most of the comments make zero sense. It’s not all about estrogen. When you stop moving, you become move stiff. You exacerbated your problems by dropping exercise: [/quote]

Oh. So you weren’t actually “just curious” then. Okay. The musculoskeletal effects of menopause are well documented if you ever become actually curious.

I suspect the reason the comments here make mo sense to you is because you don’t know — or refuse to accept — that estrogen, and a sudden lack of it, can affect the whole body. If you don’t let that fact in, I suspect the conversation will continue to bewilder you.

Nobody is saying you need to take HRT. But it’s odd to refuse to look at the research while wagging your finger at people who have. I wonder what it is you really need. [/quote]
