Post-Menopause & Joint Pain: What Every Woman Should Know
By Aadhya9 Multispecialty Hospital, Shadipur – Ortho & Women’s Health Experts
πΈ Introduction
Menopause brings many changes in a woman’s life — emotionally, hormonally, and physically. One of the most common (but least talked about) issues women face after menopause is joint pain.
At Aadhya9 Hospital, we often see women aged 45+ visiting us for unexplained knee, back, or shoulder pain. And many don’t realize that post-menopausal joint pain is real — and manageable.
Let’s break it down.
𧬠What Causes Joint Pain After Menopause?
After menopause, your estrogen levels drop. Estrogen is not just a reproductive hormone — it also plays a big role in:
-
Reducing inflammation in joints
-
Supporting bone density
-
Maintaining joint lubrication
When this hormone decreases, you may experience:
-
Stiff joints in the morning
-
Aching knees or hips
-
Back or neck discomfort
-
Worsening of arthritis symptoms
π§ Common Types of Joint Pain Women Face Post-Menopause
-
Knee pain (especially while climbing stairs)
-
Lower back pain
-
Neck and shoulder stiffness
-
Wrist and finger pain (can mimic early arthritis)
-
General joint inflammation
π¨ When to See a Doctor
If you’re facing any of these symptoms for more than a few weeks:
-
Pain that affects your daily movement
-
Swelling or stiffness that gets worse in the morning
-
Trouble standing, walking, or using stairs
π It’s time to consult an orthopedic doctor.
