So I’m interested also to hear from
Others as I thought it was just me
Feeling these symptoms… plus I have a 10 month old baby to run around after so I just want to be a normal
Mum
I have terrible hip pain now 9 months after the treatment ended. It’s so painful that I find it hard to walk. I don’t think it’s menopause related. I went into the menopause 8 years ago and have never had these symptoms. I obviously don’t know what is causing it but I’m guessing it’s a delayed after affect from radiation. I’m hoping to see a gynaecologist at the hospital soon. It’s really hard to get an appointment. I’m also waiting on an appointment at the HRT clinic and a dexa scan. I’m worried that it might be osteoporosis or worse…
I also had this. This is probably down to low hormones. I had this and the hrt helped a lot. However, my NHS gyneoncologist didn’t put me on a high enough dose so after 9 months I started to ache again. Saw a private specialist and she said I should be on 4 times as much. She swapped it over and my aches mostly went. I’ve still got heal pain and occasionally leg cramps but I’m also bleeding a little so I’m hoping my next appointment with her (next week) can be adjusted and I feel pain free again.
Are you on hrt? When I started on the correct high dose my pain reduced to by 90% and so did my tiredness.
No, I’m not on HRT. I’m post menopausal. When I hit the menopause first the doc wouldn’t put me on HRT because I had high blood pressure. But I didn’t have any back pain then. My GP thinks it’s sciatica. Anyway I’m waiting on an appointment at the HRT clinic. Hopefully they can help me.
