Menopause shows up in different ways. Understand how different symptoms might be impacting you.
Treatments and Symptoms
Joint Pain
What it feels like
Stiffness, aches and pains in joints like the knees, feet, neck, shoulders, wrists, fingers and elbows
Why it happens
The direct link between menopause and joint pain is unknown, but one possibility is that declining estrogen (a natural anti-inflammatory) means inflammation can occur more easily. Estrogen also helps to regulate fluids throughout the body and may result in the tissue of your joints becoming less elastic.
