[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg. I was anti-HRT for myself because I was sailing through (11 months w/out a period). I turn 56 next month. Im very very active. I have exercised (cardio/lifting) 6 days a week my entire life, was a college soccer player, ran 6 marathons and I’ve never had knee, hip, back, etc pain. I walk an hour a day too…hot yoga, etc.

Then bam I started getting some hip pain, lower back pain and I thought it was an old mattress. New mattress- no change. Then a frozen shoulder out of nowhere. My entire body aches now and starting to interfere with my day to day.  I know this is estrogen related.  I’m running to get a patch—ASAP!

Estrogen withdrawal → joint & connective-tissue inflammation

When estrogen drops:
	•	Joint cartilage becomes less lubricated
	•	Tendons and capsules stiffen
	•	Inflammation increases
	•	Pain sensitivity rises

This is why many women describe menopause as “my body suddenly aged 10 years.”

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)

Frozen shoulder is strongly associated with menopause, especially:
	•	Age 45–60
	•	Perimenopause / early menopause
	•	Sudden onset without injury[/quote]

Good for you, PP. How is your sex drive. I am 54 and very physically active but for some reason, very low desire for sex. [/quote]
