[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg. [b]I was anti-HRT for myself because I was sailing through[/b] (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]

Yes and none of us could stand you and all the other antis that blah blah about how they’re just exercising and eating right until it finally catches up with you. Estrogen will only partially help the muscular skeletal syndrome of menopause. Maybe if you feel like adding T to E and P. [/quote]

Ummm. This is my very first post in this forum.

Maybe you need to up your dose of estrogen.[/quote]

What would you know about it? You haven’t even had your first prescription.  [/quote]
