Joint pains - inner workings on why it happens during menopause

 

Having joints that snap, crackle and pop like rice krispies is a common complaint — especially when we get older.

 

Unfortunately, joint pains are known to worsen during menopause, which may cause joint pain that can affect the knees, shoulders, neck, elbows, or hands. 

 

You might notice that your old joint injuries may begin to ache, and as time goes on, you may start to notice that you feel more aches and pains in the affected areas than you used to. 

 

That’s because during menopause, hormones begin to fluctuate drastically — including estrogen, the primary female hormone. 

 

Estrogen helps to reduce inflammation. As it’s levels decline, inflammation may increase, causing discomfort and menopause-related arthritis.

 

Now, if you’re looking for some well-needed relief from joint pains...
