I am 46 years old and have been in menopause since i was about 42. I have a lot of the classic symptoms, but i was wondering if foot pain is one of the symptoms too. My toes and the pads of my feet swell and hurt real bad. Even keeps me awake at night. Is there anyone else out there expewriencing the same thing? I have talked to some women in my town that did. I am really wanting to know what i can do to get relief from this. It is driving me crazy!
During the few years I was going through' the change', I also had foot pain and so did my sister. It hurt so much it was hard to walk after sitting for a while. It did seem to help if I kept them elevated but , ohhh, the pain. I was on hormone replacement at the time and was on it ...until the scare came out. I went off the hormones and the pain STOPPED. I'm sure it was hormones. No problems since!
I am a 36 year old who recently went through surgical medapause due to having the BRCA1 gene. I was not anticipating that I would feel this intense foot pain w/ medapause. I'm not taking any hormone replacement therapy.
