background

I’m 48 and think I’m in the change. My back is constantly sore, especially when I’ve been resting. My knees ache at times and so does my right heel and left big toe! Really fed up of it now, as can’t do much bending etc! Been to the doctor’s, which was a waste of time! Do you think my aches could be related to menopause? Please help!

You won’t get the menopause the minute you turn 50! The average starting age is actually between 45 and 55 and it can often depend on a number of factors including hereditary, weight and health, however every single woman will have an individual menopause.
