Thanks for your post yesterday Lizzie, it really has inspired me (and my husband) to cut out - or at least reduce - carbs and sugar. I'm full of aches and pains, I do have osteoarthritis in my hip but ache pretty much all over, my beloved walking is now something I almost dread. Your post just hit me as I know me and my hubby eat to many stodgy, high carb foods. I've also become pretty addicted to chocolate since giving up alcohol. I'm going to spend this weekend researching low carb ideas but thanks again.

Hi, it’s fingers and neck for me. OH has provided me with speech to text software called Dragon Pro (much better than the freely available tech) so when it’s too painful to type I can do most things verbally. I also take curcumin at night and when it flares up I am trying low dose ibuprofen continually.

It hadn’t occurred to me that my joint pain could be related to the menopause, I did mention it to my GP but he just shrugged and sent me for an X-ray, so assumed I was just being unlucky. In the last 3 years I’ve had tendinitis in my achilles tendon and now in my hand and a frozen shoulder which took 15 months to recover from. Has anyone else had these type of joint/ligament issues ?  If so, what have you found that helps if anything

Hello and welcome to the forum. I had such a lot of joint pain and found HRT really helped with that. Sorry to hear your GP was unhelpful. It is good you have found this place as you will learn such a lot and get lots of support. :)
