I first started the Peri-menopause when I was 40 years old and now I am 50. My joint pain has been on and off for over a year now. The last few weeks it has been quite severe although today it is not too bad. What is the best supplement to take for joint stiffness and pain? I've tried taking Menopace but it upset my stomach and after 3 weeks I had to stop. Can you help me?

You could try Devils Claw as this is traditionally used for joint pain.

Make sure that you are drinking plenty of plain water - tea, coffee, fizzy drinks and juices don't count and are actually best avoided as they can all irritate the joints.

Falling oestrogen can dehydrate the 'padding' between the joints, causing inflammation and pain so that is why water is so important.
