My right hip is so painful at night it's starting to keep me up tossing and turning to find a good position, I'm putting voltaren on my wrists for pain I can only assume carpal tunnel, my back is stiff, it takes a while for my ankles to 'warm up' when I first start walking in the a.m. To add to all of it, I'm in menopause (57f) which also comes with it's own laundry list of bizarre symptoms: vertigo, tinnitus, frozen shoulder, sleep apnea and of course the wonderful world of hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, anxiety, depression.

I will admit I haven't been great on the exercise front, so I'm starting yoga, but this all seemed to hit me all at once at 57.

Edited to add: I am on HRT, (est and pro) but only low dose so far, just started a few months ago, think i may have to up it.
