I am in peri-menopause phase. I missed my first period, began hot flashes, and have the worst joint pain. Everything, Hips, knees, elbows…How does the joint pain factor into the menopause? Is it possible that it triggered arthritis? I have made an appointment with my GP but am trying to understand the physiology behind all these new changes.

I have joint pain also that came on exactly when I started skipping periods. So, I have had a thorough workup with a rheumatologist and everything shows up as normal. I don't having any swelling with my joint pain, which is indicator that you could be developing arthritis. I'm convinced at this point that the joint pain is related to the hormonal imbalances. I take tylenol or advil when I need to. Hope this helps.
