I hate menopause, My body is going through so many changes including joint pain! I have pains that I never knew existed!

[@akaziaj]

May I recommend the book the Wisdom of Menopause- author Northrop Yes menopause is uncomfortable but a normal part of life. Don't hate it, embrace the inevitable. Just a different perspective.😉

[@desislavamustakertcheva7231]

Me tooo😢😢

[@2mangos]

@@akaziaj O suck it, it's bs. Women telling women to be masochistic doesn't help a thing. Maybe there would be better treatments for these things if people would stop that crappy behavior towards women's issues. Embrace the horrible things that happen to you and do it alone.

[@sabinetsamtsukakis4031]

​@@akaziajThis maybe helps for you, but have in mind that menopause symptoms are very diffrent. Think about toothpain, all the time and than I would tell you stuck it up.... you see, that won't help. I have the luxery, to not have the worst problems, but many woman (I'm a nurse) have horrible problems. So think about this, before you write a comment like this please,thank you.

[@thereisaseason2889]

@@akaziajI’m not feeling full of wisdom and acceptance. I feel achey, sore and tired, on top of miserable, so i’m not pretending this is a cakewalk by breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth. I am 58, still work full time in a high stress job amd I care for my senior father who lives in my home. I’m it, I have to keep going or crap will collpse and that means doing allllll of the things, laundry, yardwork, grocery shopping, cleaning, dr appts, medication management, phys therapy for dad. I go right through the pain every day and it sucks. I can’t sugar coat that, and please don’t say reach out for help. There is no one. I tried to do deep squats a few days ago to help my balance and I pulled my pirformis muscle, now i’m 3x more miserable because it hurts. Beware of those exercise vids you see on youtube, especially if you are in menopause, some are not appropriate.

[@tashabrown8301]

I NEVER EVER NEVER KNEW THAT THIS WAS SUCH A THING!!!!! Until now as I am suffering all of these symptoms!! As crazy as it sounds I am relieved to at least know that I’m not gaining weight for nothing and these pains in my body are not mental!!! And I see that I am not alone🙏🙏

[@janice2532]

I am going through this right now. My hips are sore now, but I am stronger and more active than ever,. I am plant based. So the protein is a good reminder. I will start to strength train immediately. I am doing cardio every day. My pain is in my hips. Also, a lot of Tumeric with Black Pepper. Its kind of amazing that it is a pain reliever. It works well.

First person and doctor I found talking about this (menopause) and giving the importance in the relationship it has with autoimmune disease because sometimes pain doesn’t come from autoimmunity when have it but from unbalanced hormones. Thanks.

Dr. Kuhn is so right! Strength training is so important. I suffer with joint pain from menopause and exercise is the thing that helps me the most. Strength training and YOGA! I do heated yoga 4 times a week now because it helps with my joint pain. Thank you for this video!

[@CosetteFelix]

Omg I’m so hopeful after watching this. I’m 52 and now post menopause and after a life of being physically fit and active, I’ve been reduced to only walking every day. The knee pain I experience has stopped my cycling AND weight training. It’s heartbreaking. I’m looking forward to trying your 4 day challenge. Thank you!

[@arthritisadventure]

i'm so glad you found this video! Can't wait to hear how the 4 day challenge goes for you

[@doriezitro8556]

@@arthritisadventure I Agree with CosetteFelix, Im grateful and hope your channel also helps me. Im also 52 and have been physically fit and active for the last 15 years. Taking care of my body has been of great priority to me. This entire year pain on my hands, elbows, neck, hip, and backs have slowed me down so much that I’d gotten sad to think my workout days were over. I want to give it all Ive got to fight this. I know I needed help which is why i was going through you tube and found your channel. Im hoping your channel motivates me and educates me enough to continue making the changes you recommend.

I’m 54years old and into peri menopause.And I’ve a video saying that there 100 symptoms in menopause.And I admit I have some of the symptoms.And I was diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis.Im an active woman I do boxing, running and badminton.But I stopped doing the boxing now.All I do are running and badminton.But when I was diagnosed osteoarthritis I stopped running and badminton for more than two months.But now I’m back playing badminton but once a week unlike before I used to play twice or even thrice a week.And now I’m doing walking backwards and it helped me.And take some supplements like Vit.D , Fish oil, and glucosamine chondroitin.I eat green leafy vegetables,fish,fruits.And yes I watched and follow some of your exercise.And Ido Taeboo and some yoga.And yes,I really want to do the things I love to do,and I want to get fit and strong so I can enjoy more my granddaughter.And I want to feel good and look good too,and that’s why I want to be active as much as I can.So doc Am I doing the right thing? And taking the right supplements?thank you for the response.

[@DebZaragoza]

Just found your channel through this video (10-15-22). I am recently postmenopausal. My symptoms up to this point were mostly weight gain and hot flashes/mood swings. Now I'm experiencing the pain! So happy to find your videos and get motivated to reduce the pain! Thank you for the videos, I'm now subscribed! 😀

Yes, Menopause Taylor has great tutorials on all this. I also love A. Vogel here on KZbin for info. And Kari Anne Wright is fantastic! 🙂

[@Lifes_Frosting]

I’m 57 with regular periods. These last 6 months have been very difficult. Bodybuilding has been my hobby for the last 20 years. I have a lot of muscle and get at least one gram of protein per lb of body weight. I am experiencing joint pain almost everywhere. I do all the things. Eliminated processed foods, wheat, added sugar. Incorporated anti-inflammatory foods. My muscles, tendons, ligaments are all being negatively affected. My wrist strength is weakening. I’m considering HRT at this point. I started physical therapy for a hamstring strain and will soon start the same for lower back pain. I’m a whole mess. I never knew it would be like this. 😢

[@hallypuew3762]

Yes thank you. FINALLY someone who understands!!!recently started experiencing all of the above symptoms. Quality of life has gone down the gutter. Headaches brain fog. Ect.. anyhow finally talk to ob doctor. Start my hrt treatment and can't wair!

[@arthritisadventure]

You can do it!

[@susanneanderson7916]

Thank you. I have been through what seems like a long uphill battle for so long. First to get my previous PCP to take me seriously. Next I saw a rheumatologist who wanted to prescribe medication that didn't help. He told me I would only get worse and got angry I refused prescription meds. The side effects were more debilitating. I feel like I can do this now.

[@arthritisadventure]

You can do this!! With the right movements and foods- it is possible for your body to feel good!

[@jeanikim-slesicki320]

Thank you for putting this together so simply!! I’ve been experiencing severe arthritis and was advised by my doc/OBG-GYN to try EstroVen (plant-based OTC hormone therapy) snd Glucosamine (shells/gelatins based pills for joint health). Feeling better after a week and your video helped me understand the reasons why!

[@arthritisadventure]

I'm so glad it was helpful and that you have taken the best step for you! I wish you lots of pain relief :)

[@ronicmwest]

This is crazy man lol. I just suddenly started getting leg pain and never had this before. I'm active and seems to get worse after workouts. This is beyond irritating I did started drinking ensure protein shakes a few weeks ago because my stomach cannot take the protein shakes. I hope this helps. I don't eat a lot of meat. I'm gonna keep trying things because this is not it. I have never been this frustrated with my body in my life. Not physical look but the internal pain. I'm going to keep going. Hope to get relief.

I’m 48 and your comment describes me to a T! Did you find anything to help? I’m so happy to have found this channel bc I thought I was going crazy.

[@ronicmwest]

@sam11297 I kept reading the comments and added magnesium, collagen, and fiber to my multivitamin regimens. It helped over night. I am an active person and if you are not active ad strength training and yoga

[@amandaroper1297]

I started having severe knee pain and swelling when I entered perimenopause 4 years ago. I can barely make it through the grocery store at times. Where do I start ? What can I do to get my life back?

[@arthritisadventure]

Many people like to start with this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJjbfKaDa5qMo6M but it will depend on your current fitness level and tolerance.

[@drdiscounts]

Thank you for this video. I have been suffering from arthritis for a while now. I haven’t been able to walk, lift my arms, get out of bed comfortably, or sit up comfortably. I’ve been miserable and the only thing the doctor can give me is methotrexate. I thought it was just from my obesity but I feel like it’s more than that. I’ve lost weight and still can’t move around comfortably . I went from being able to move on my own and walk just fine to not being able to care for myself in less than a year and half. I also thought I could not bounce back from being sick at the beginning of Covid but this seems different. There has to be more help than steroids and methotrexate because those meds are not really helping.

[@arthritisadventure]

There definitely are other options- including introducing more anti inflammatory foods, increasing activity level (even seated ones if moving around is hard right now), and some supplements can be beneficial too!

[@lynpallister6527]

I thought methotrexate was rheumatoid arthritis, different diagnosis and other advice may apply, just had same conversation with my dr in uk. Hope helps

[@dianarego1799]

I’m so happy I found this thank you so much for the information. I currently have menopause and bine aches literally make me get stuck when I try to get up or sit down or even just walking its horrible, hot flashes, bone aches and 25lb weight gain in like 4 months I will definitely try the workout 😊challenge

[@silvernissi9148]

I’ve been so frustrated and confused not understanding my body, I’m 52 and went from being fine to being in so much pain and not understand why I guess it’s menopause but my hips hurt so bad, I see so many people suggest strength training but I’m so scared to even attempt it because of the pain…. I don’t want to take hormones or drugs so I just wonder if I just have to endure this pain and be miserable and the weight just keeps coming.thank you for the video, I will give your advice a try.

[@arthritisadventure]

Hi! The best way to approach strength training and exercise is to start with gentle movements in order to build confidence. This free four day arthritis friendly exercise challenge may help to do that: arthritisadventure.com/challenge

[@Snowstar50]

Wow wow wow. Thank you so much. I don't know what to do other than take painkillers. The perimenopause has caused pains and weight gain in my body so I can't exercise. I am looking forward to watching your videos for help. The doctor just said it is getting older and gave me paracetamol only.

[@arthritisadventure]

So glad you’re here! ❤️

[@nking532]

I am so glad I found your channel. I thought I was just falling apart about 3 or 4 mos ago. I am an active person and consider myself in very good shape for 63 yrs old. But all of a sudden (or maybe it seemed so) but I just felt really achy and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong when I went to the gym. I take pilates, barre, strength training, walk and bike pretty regularly without pain (or used to) but things changed. I thought I had lyme disease because I had a tick bite and that has turned out negative. So now I am dealing with muscle aches and joint pain in my hips/legs/ankle/foot and didn't know what was causing it. I have been increasing my protein by using plant base protein powder. I am also seeing a chiropractor/pt for the hip pain and has me doing resistance exercises and manipulation for my hip/leg/ankle pain. I told her that it feels like my left side feels different like it has shifted or something. Anyways I am ordering a pair of orthotics to help with correcting my arches that were scanned at this office. So thank you so much for enlightening me on something that I thought my doctor would have told me!!!

Does hiking + light trail running + light mountain biking count as (lower-body) weight bearing exercise?
