Has anyone also experienced physical joint pain during luteal phase?
I am 31F
I had uneventful cycles until recently in my 30s. I did a round of egg freezing 6 months ago, did well during the process but after retrieval started to have really terrible mood swings that correlates with the drop of hormones every month with my cycle. Big feelings of emptiness/sadness/ anger. The continued mental health experience is starting to make me suspect PMDD
I wanted to see if anyone else had physical pain symptoms as well?
I’ve been experiencing throbbing joint pain. I have noticed this around my ankles, from my elbow to my wrists, some fingers.
I only feel this throbbing pain during this time of the month and then it goes away afterwards
I have done bloodwork and scans to rule out arthritis or carpel tunnel and have been doing PT.
None of my doctors (who have all been men) have been able to identify why this physical joint pain only shows up once a month or what I can do about it
Has anyone had this experience? Been feeling quite lost without a medical diagnosis
