Hi 3rd month in on hrt tiredness still hasn't lifted my limbs ache only sine I started it no sign of letting so much I battle to do my exercises . Is it normal they don't just ache there sore they feel so heavy and stiff. don't even know if I'm describing it correctly .  Help please is it normal ?

Hi Reba and welcome to MM.  I would go back to the doctor for a check, you've given it a good three months and if you ddin't have this problem before you may need to change the HRT or have some tests to find out why your limbs are so sore.  I'm not sure if this is a side effect, which HRT are you on?

Estradot just oestrogen  had hysterectomy 11 yrs ago

I'm just starting my third week on estradot 25 so early days for me but achy joints particularly arms and fatigue are an issue. I've had achy joints before the estrogen so thought maybe in time it would settle, I hope so!

Thank you smitten ,its like been hit by a bus . Hrt took flushes and load mood away but left with this fatigue etc . Hope it goes soon like everyone is saying .i dont want to be chopping and changing, will it stay this was for some or will i need to change ? Im sure u feel same

Hi Reba,I felt exactly the same as you,like I had been hit by a bus,in fact if u put hit by a bus in the search bar,you will probably find my post. I found that a higher dose of estrogen made the fatigue so much better,I still get tired,but nowhere near the fatigue I was feeling.i don't think you need to change your hrt,just the strength of patch,I think you will find that will help.

No I didn't get cramps,just aches and pains,I still get that now.im going to see a menopause specialist on the 19th of June,see what he has to say,as I still don't feel well,but the fatigue and the hit by a bus feeling is a lot better. Let me know how u get on xx
