Aching hands and feet !

Any ideas? I have a phone consultation with GP later this week, but has anyone had this? I'm 43, no known health conditions other than general anxiety (and health!) normal BMI & non smoker. I've had recent blood tests for perimenopause due to changes in my periods, but results were in range and my periods have returned to normal recently.

The soles of my feet ache, my ankles, my palms ache, sometimes the tops of my hands too when I grip things, my legs ache and sometimes my arms and elbows. Been going on for almost 3 weeks now. Feels almost viral but I'm well !

I had aching palms and soles of feet too. Went on HRT and it completely stopped. I was 38 so had to fight for it. I had to see a private GP with referral to a private gynaecologist. Absolutely worth the money though and my prescription is now on repeat at my NHS GP surgery.

Perimenopause diagnosis goes on symptoms , not blood tests.

38 is quite young isn't it, great to hear that you were listened to and the pains have now eased. I'm taking painkillers more often now so need to get this sorted it's driving me round the bend !

Have you been bitten by a tick recently? This caused these symptoms for me

One of my perimenopause symptoms was terribly painful hands and feet. Went on HRT and they stopped - I was mid 40s
