Is joint pain normal during menopause?
Yes. Joint pain is one of the common issues for women in midlife. In fact, at times it’s been dubbed ‘menopause arthritis’. The reason for joint pain is that the hormone estrogen plays an important role in joint and bone health. In point of fact, estrogen is anti-inflammatory and minimises swelling in the joints. Equally important, estrogen aids the regulation of fluid levels in the body. And if fluid levels lower or lead to dehydration, the level of uric acid can increase thereby causing joint pain. Therefore, as one of the hallmarks of menopause is declining estrogen, swollen and painful joints can become an unwelcome issue.
What helps joint pain during menopause?
There are several things you can do to mitigate joint pain during menopause. Firstly, we recommend focusing on ensuring your shifting hormone levels are as balanced as possible. When you take this forward-front approach you’re addressing the root cause of the condition. As a result of implementing this, you can then back it up with lifestyle factors. These include a diet rich in minerals and anti-inflammatory whole foods such as fruit and veg. Additionally, calcium is a key bone nutrient and it needs magnesium to be absorbed properly. Leafy green vegetables, fruit, nuts and whole grains are good sources of these. Also, turmeric, which contains anti-inflammatory curcuminoids is well-researched for the relief of joint pain. Support these by ensuring your weight is at a healthy level and mitigating stress (as much as possible). Also, try taking up low-impact exercise such as swimming, dancing, yoga or Pilates.
