[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The title says it all.  I can't do HRT.  I'm 52.  What, if anything, works for joint and muscle pain?  I ache all the time.  Chemo, related neuropathy, and radiation have made it worse. Treatments for cancer have been successful, so I'm otherwise healthy.  I just ache.  It affects my sleep.  I've tried acupuncture, magnesium, and prescribed drugs.  Nothing works well. Open to any suggestions.     [/quote]

Cannabis and movement. I work with a guy who was in the US military decades ago and was injured in service, he became a study participant in studies of the efficacy of cannabis in treating pain - yes, the US military and government have been aware for decades that cannabis was an effective pain moderator with little risk of addiction or overdose.

All the most recent research in pain management has found that the best thing for pain management is gentle regular movement - choose an activity that you like and will be inclined to engage in on a daily basis.

Also there is a lot of research into the efficacy of mindfulness to help pain sufferers re-train their brains around perception of pain.
