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]

Different poster. Of course men experienced stiffness and other complications of aging but you do realize that a 55-year-old man has two or three times the amount of estrogen in his body than a 55-year-old woman who is in menopause. I’m betting you actually don’t realize that.

Estrogen is a really powerful hormone in our body. I really don’t think women were meant to live the kind of lives though you’re living in our 50s and beyond without it.

We have an achieved insane leaps in life expectancy over the past couple hundred years as compared to tens of thousands of years before that. If we have an ability for women to restore some of what was helping us with overall health before menopause, we should do it. Of course it’s important to evaluate benefits and risk, but it really seems like the risk are small for most women.
