I'm 48 and have been having stiff, aching joints for a few months now. Mostly when I get up or have been sitting a while but some days it can go on all day. It feels like when you've overdone exercise. I do exercise regularly but have done for years so nothing new. I suspect I'm perimenopause despite being on the combined pill (came off for a while a year or so ago and had clear signs). GP says you can get menopause symptoms while on the pill but my joint problems are not - it's OLD AGE 😫 He also says there's nothing I can do about it.
I'm confused. Read so many times this is a menopause symptom but he says no!
