Constant aches and pains (40s)

[PlayItCool]

I'm not sure if this is peri menopause related, or work stress or just getting older... but I feel like my muscles and joints are aching ALL the time!

I'm so stiff and sore after sitting down (or standing still) for more than an hour or so. The only thing that gives me comfort is sitting in a hot bath. I exercise regularly (Pilates and walking) and have issues with sciatica but otherwise healthy.

I'm 43. No other symptoms (apart from bad moods!) had bloods done recently and all normal. Could it be peri? Does anyone else experience this?

Any advice much appreciated as it is getting me down!! Thanks x

Turmeric

Was your Vitamin D checked too, it is often missed from routine bloods and low Vit D causes aches and pains.
get a printout from your GP of all your bloods, and request Vitamin D if not done

I was going to say vitamin D but I can see I've been beaten to it. I bought a vitamin d spray off Amazon and felt so much better after a couple of weeks. I didn't bother asking for a blood test.

Hi I take a daily vit D spray - just because I read we're all deficient- but not sure if I had this checked.

I've tried turmeric and black pepper supplements and it made no difference (only took them for 30 days tho)

Was peri for me. HRT helped

You need to check your Vit D levels as a daily maintenance dose won’t get your levels up .
you need mega doses to get levels back to normal and even that can take a few months

Look up Sally K Norton on Youtube. She was riddled with oxalates and had full body pain until she got on top of it.

Thank you I didn't know that about vit D will get it checked!

Just about to order one 👍

Wrists and ankles in total agony? Constant back pain? Jaw spasms?
I'm 46 and it's horrendous.

Are you me ? Surely this isn't normal.
