@tntlthy: Joint pain during menopause is often confused with arthritis and fibromyalgia. Many women will suffer for years with medications that don't work becasue they are treating the wrong symptom! There are ways to distingusih menopause joint pain from the others. 1. Menopause joint pain is more widespread than arthritis. 2. It tends to start in weigh bearing joints like ankles, knees and hips. 3. It is worse in the morning, eases up during the day and then returns at night. If you suspect that you have been misdiagnoes please contact your doctor and let him know what you just learned! #menopause #jointpain #jointpainrelief#arthritis #fibromyalgia
