Natural Ways of Coping with Menopause Joint Pain


Menopause is challenging enough without also experiencing chronic joint pain, so don't hesitate to take positive action in any way you can to help relieve the pain and get your life back.

It has been estimated that over half of women in menopause experience menopause joint pain. It can be mild to severe.

It can last for a relatively short period of time or a long time.

In any case, it is essential for you to take treatment measures to prevent the development of arthritis.

In general, menopause joint pain and its link to arthritis have not been widely researched yet.

For this reason, doctors choose the most suitable individual treatment option for each patient depending on their symptoms and on the severity of the inflammation they experience.

You should definitely consider some of the main solutions available to decide which one will work best in your case.

Hormone replacement therapy is often used to treat menopause joint pain.

The link between lower levels of estrogen and pain in the joints has not been directly confirmed, but research results show that over a third of women get considerable relief using hormonal pills containing estrogen.

In general, this type of therapy is widely recommended because it works to provide relief from the most common menopause symptoms.

It is essential for you to be aware of the risks associated with it such as the formation of blood clots, liver damage and possibly heart disease.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most commonly prescribed medications for menopause joint pain after hormonal replacement therapy treatments.

NSAIDs will provide substantial relief. However, their long-term use is likely to produce side effects such as digestive and liver problems.

It is important to consult your doctor about the use of these drugs in your particular case.

Arthritis supplements may have a positive effect for relieving menopause joint pain.

There are numerous types of supplements available on the market, but the research on most of their active ingredients is inconclusive.

So far, glucosamine taken in combination with chondroitin has been proven to be the most effective supplement of all, but you may want to research other options as well.

Alternative treatments for menopause joint pain are also options that should be considered.

Acupuncture has been proven to work effectively with a set of sessions bringing relief for months. Massage therapy and meditation have been proven to produce good results as well.

Exercise and balanced diet are essential to get relief from menopause joint pain.

It is important for you to do exercises that strengthen your muscles and tendons and that do not exert tension on the joints.

Popular options include yoga, walking, swimming and water aerobics.

Having a balanced diet which includes plenty of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and protein is essential.

I like to take Tang Kuai supplements as that helps me to relax and I add Calcium X-Tra Cal tabs, as I find that makes a kind of nerve tonic for me, as a nurse friend described it when she suggested I try that combination.

I also take 5 daily Rose Hip supplements made from roses grown in Denmark with some special patented methods, and I swear they do help my joint pain and general rheumatoid arthritis.

Menopause has so many symptoms and side effects that affect your body, growing old really is not for sissies!

Try all the natural remedies you read or hear about, test and research everything you can if you are suffering from excessive joint pain in your menopausal stage of life.

You want mobility to live and enjoy life, so don't settle for anything less!

Menopause Joint Pain
by: Anonymousshan

Hi Helene
Thanks for your post on menopause joint pain. I'm going through the menopause and suddenly I have hip, back, knee and elbow pain. Like the hot flushes and night sweats weren't enough!

I didn't realise that joint pain was part of the package.

I take glucosamine sulphate daily, which improves my joints a little. I also take vitamin B complex for mood swings.

Off to explore more of your site.
