Thanks for your input. I don't know if you are male or female or your ages, but if you are female, I have another question: do hormones affect your joint pain? I am 49, had a partial hysterectomy 7 years ago, and have been trying various degrees of HRT on for size after getting off Premarin, which I had taken since my surgery. I've read about joint pain and hormone imbalance, but I'm not sure if that's what this is. If I don't see improvement in the next day or 2, I'm probably going to call my dr. and see if he can work me in earlier than my appt. date. Thanks!
Hi Janet, I am 48 female, yes I too had a partial hysterectomy in my early 20's and then the remaining ovary removed a few yrs ago. I have heard that the lack of hormones, along with losing those body parts effects our bodies in so many ways. I tried hrt but gave it up, now I am trying DHEA and found some relief from that. Trying to get a doctor to really "listen" and not just prescribe anti D's is getting so upsetting for me!!! I just got back from my pm and only spoke with his "assistant" for bp ck and then tossed out the door. My problem is no health insurance so they don't want to spend time with me.
