To ask if anyone else has joint pain as part of their PMT?

[HennyPennyHorror]

I'm over 40 so that could be why but every time I get PMT, lately I've started having joint pain too. My periods are normal and regular as ever...but my knees hurt!

Omg yes all the time! My knees, hips and even shoulders kill! 😩 You're not alone.

Since starting the peri menopause now fully fledged I am crippled OP.I have never experienced pain like it ...shoulder,knees and legs its awful.I just don;t bend anymore and I cannot put my bra on either I have to wizz it round the front to fasten it and wizz it back,Putting my trousers on I need to sit down its pathetic and I cannot bend to tie shoe laces at all.All this I did with ease before its just awful.I move like I am 90 then other days I am ok ...madness

I am really interested to read your post Sallycinnamon which I could have written myself tbh! I have exactly the same problems and had full hysterectomy in Feb. I went to the doc about it the other day who suggested upping my Oestrogel (which I was only using every so often) and applying it every day. I've no idea whether this will help or not.

Last month I invested in some flare in tablets from the chemist.I am just starting them to see if they work,Day 12 and my ankles are less swollen so I am hoping for results soon!I shall report back if they work but anything would be good!

I used to and had joint pain for a long time after the birth of DC1. A few years ago I began exercising regularly and it made a 95% difference.

Yes! I have fibromyalgia anyway so am used to pain but I always notice this horrible pain I get in my left leg before my period. I’m 41, only started a couple of years ago.
