Symptoms of Menopause: Joint aches and pains
One of the most common symptoms of menopause is an increase in aching joints and muscle problems. This can be caused by aging itself, and also a lack of lubrication in the joints, which may make you feel achy. During this time of life, some women develop osteoarthritis, an inflammation of the joints.
What you can do: Exercise! To keep all systems working smoothly, it's important to move every day. Swimming and yoga are both great types of exercise for achy joints. Treat yourself to a massage (or get a loved one to do it!) every once in a while.
