Not just you.

If you've done a lot more walking than usual then yes I'm afraid you will reap the reward of all that healthy exercise ::)
I did lots of gardening then walked my dog faster than normal the other day. That night I could do no more than lie on the settee as my legs felt too weak to hold me up :-\
Hot baths help. As does lying on the settee watching tv and eating choc ;)

sounds good milliemoo ;D ;D

Exercise is great. I always ache for two days after my exercise class (body conditioning) on Mon eve but best to keep moving (not on the same day!) and the stiffness will go - choc sounds appealing too!!

I wake every monring with sciatica - sometimes in the early hours and certianly on getting out of bed I'm like an Old Woman >:( and the burning down my thighs sometimes :-\
Join the party ::)

Now I love to "party" but this is one I'd rather not go to ;D ;D I live in a small village so all the women here are either too old to remember what their menopause was like OR too young.....I feel so alone BUT thank god for you lovely ladies :D :D

We invested in one of those memory foam mattresses. Hideously expensive but worth every penny as it has cured a lot of the aches and pains I was experiencing.

In the last year since starting the meno I ache all over (haven't experienced thumbs yet???) but also recently got a memory foam mattress (nearly needed a mortgage to pay for it). They are great but the trouble is if you go on holiday boy do you miss it! Have just come back from a week away and couldn't wait to get back to my own bed.

Ladybird the thumbs will start ;) ;) ;D

ooooooh yes, I have a memory foam mattress topper. It does make a difference, tho not to my feet. Some mornings I shuffle downstairs like a little old lady til my feet wake up :-\

Lizeeeh, wouldn't be surprised as it flippin hurts in other places? I hurt my leg in a car accident about 2 years ago and Dr. said it would get better but it never did and now I've got sciatica to contend with as well. Some days I feel like I'm falling apart...
