Close Arthritis

Out of curiosity, I wondered if menopause was connected with my sudden arthritus symptoms, & I found this site. My last period was 1 yr. before my joints in my hands, esp. my thumbs, became week, painful & deformed. I had just started taking calcium & Vit.D. I thought the calcium might be building up on my joints. I also thought I might not be absorbing the calcium due to lack of magnesium? I am too young to feel this fatigued. I am open to all suggestions!

Treatments

Anti-Inflammatory Diet Working / Worked

Only been a week, but I feel like I have more a little more mobility & a little less pain.

Ibuprofen Working / Worked

I took it at the beginning when the pain was the worst. It took most of the pain away.
