[quote=Anonymous][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]

It does not always have to do with movement. Your answer is focused on the one area you know and that is a problem.

Women are more prone to frozen shoulder, for example. They don’t quite know why but low estrogen is suspected.

If men get frozen shoulder, they often have diabetes or a thyroid problem, too. So, they do get it but there is no proof it is from lack of movement.

Although estrogen seems to be connected to joint pain, the impact of HRTs is very small. You’re still going to need to exercise and lose weight as the primary way to handle joint and muscle issues. [/quote]
