Menopause Support Group

Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.

Lower Back pain?

deleted_user

Hello;

I am perimenopausal. I have almost constant lower back pain. Is that part of all of this?

Not that I know of. Has it been going on for long?
here is a list of the most common symptoms

Thank you for that. I started having Tinnitus about last May or June. I have been trying to understand why I suddenly got that and its on the list!

So glad you gave me that. Maybe that explains it. How long does that typically last? Is it forever too?

I really don't know how long it will last. Most women say their symptoms start to get better a couple of years after their periods completely stop. Some women feel better sooner than that, and some women keep on having symptoms.

I am peri-menopausal (so I'm told by GP) and I too am suffering with cronic lower back pain. Is on and off though worse some weeks than others.

Mine (lower back pain) is getting to the point where I'm almost ready to go to the doctor to see what it is and if there's something I need or injured. I don't go to doctors so its gotta be bad for me to be thinking of going. I had a fall a while back while power walking but didn't notice any pain the next day or following days but I've heard things like that can take a while to show up.

I thought this might be related to menopause because its so similiar to the cramps and lower back pain I used to get with PMS. Only now its like around the clock pms but no frontal cramps.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
