I had a complete hysterectomy in October.....I am 59.....since January, I have muscle /joint pain in many body parts....sudden pain in my knee lead to a dx of 2 torn menisci.......and surgery in March....as I recover from that my fingers, wrists, hips lower back are aching and I m told arthritis. I have been very depressed over hurting all the time and feeling like I am 89. I had an angioplasty a few years back, so doctors don t recommend anti-inflammatories/advil, or hormones......I ve been at a loss. I came across an article today menopausal arthralgia for the first time today, and I am now wondering if this is what is going on with me, as the last six months I feel like I aged 20 years.
Hifor joint pains, tylenol can be taken without harm for angioplasty. Do hot fomentation of joints, and you may apply anti-inflammatory gels easily on the joints two three times daily, rubbing it gently. Hysterectomy has nothing to do with this arthralgia, however if ovaries are removed, there can be some hormonal imbalance. Get serum calcium and vitamin D levels checked also, besides CRP, ESR, TLC, DLC blood counts. Best wishes
