Mild Muscle weakness/fatigue - Menopause Message Board

Buzzbabe3 · 05-19-2008, 07:32 AM

I have developed this very mild and somewhat vague fatigue feeling in my legs and bit more in one than the other...but it is a bit scary. Feels almost like I have used the leg too much...like when you stress the muscle from exercising. Anyone else? Another ugly symptom rears its head. I struggle not to be petrified. I am taking anti-anxiety meds and started on hormones and I hate that I have to take this stuff!!!! But not sure what to do. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I do know that the " 35 symptoms of menopause lists" say that joint and muscle aches and weakness are one of the symptoms. Maybe an anti-inflamatory, like Ibuprofen, before bed would help. (if they don't upset your stomach)

Best of luck. I hope you can get some relief.

I am through menopause but still get the "muscle weakness" feeling when I'm really stressed, especially on one side. I think it's just related to anxiety because it's been going on for years! We obviously all have some sort of health anxiety or we wouldn't be on these boards looking up symptoms, right

Take care and try not to worry too much.

My insides have stopped trembling so much but now I have a kind of weak feeling inside almost like how you feel if your muscles have been stressed by exercise. Anyone else ever felt this?
