Anyone have achy legs? - Menopause Message Board

Moonrize · 01-15-2005, 09:39 AM

Lately the past few nights when I go to bed,from the knees down my legs ache!I haven't been doing anything unusual,no new footwear,so there is no reason for it...anyone else experience this?
My stomach is no good either,goes from a gnawing feeling,like I have to put something in it,to nausea...

I haven't experienced what you stated, but during my mild stage of perimenopause I use to have achy legs and hip pains.

Hi..I have the achy legs also, off and on..Worse when I have done too much or when I started exercising again and wasnt used to it..
But my stomach has really been bothering me too..Nauseated for no reason, and even though I dont want to eat, I feel like I have to eat something, and most times it feels better..Also, certain foods bother me when they never did before (saucy, spicy, alot of cheese) give me stomach pains and nausea...I think its all do to peri, at least for me, cos Ive been to the doctor so much within the past 6 mos, and all my tests and bloodwork come up normal..According to them, I am very healthy, lol, even though some days I felt like I was dying of some terrible disease!

What you just wrote,Nance,about the stomach,well I could have written it!!! My stomach sometimes feel icky,but also like I have to put something in it,almost like a gnawing feeling.Other times it feels like I have a lead weight in there...I get reflux,which causes me to have trouble breathing,it's a BIG mess.In October I had an abdominal CT scan,with the dye no less,and all was fine.I never know when I wake up how I will feel.When my hormones level out,I'll feel ok,but then they go whacky again.It's AWFUL!

Both of these symptoms can be caused by peri. I had both and they tend to come and go. The nausea can be from reflux or IBS, both of which get worse with peri. It can also be caused be anxiety which is usually out of control with peri. The aches and pains out of nowhere also go along with peri.

I never knew what caused these two symptoms and what caused them to go away. They just rotated around for about 2 years and now come only occassionally. Nothing helps. They will go away. For me the rotation (along with other symptoms) was every two weeks.
