Morning Ladies
Does anyone else have these things - lack of estrogen - causing slackness in ligaments etc - I am presuming - neck crunching away - think a nerve is trapped due to tingling when sitting down and travelling to my toes - this menopause sometimes is a right pain - literally -
Aged 47 and feeling a bit like a crock.
:-\ :)

My neck has crunched for longer than I've been menopausal. Not got tingling though. I'm on oestrogen only.

Hiya
Sorry to hear that you are suffering, I have a pain in the neck, but that's just my boss.
However, I did have hip pain, I know it's a good bit away from the neck, but my doctor did say that it could be caused by oestrogen, or lack of. I eventually got an appointment with physiotherapy, that was 4 weeks ago, the exercises she gave me have helped greatly. I have had this since February and never though it would get any better, I would say it is 80% better, so a wee bit to go.
The physiotherapy said mine was probably nerve root problem.
Do you think that physiotherapy may help? I know it's not the same area, but you never know, it may help.
Regards

I have a trapped nerve in my neck which makes me giddyish when I bend my neck backwards which isn't often, fortunately ::)
I can hear crepitus in the neck joints sometimes - when I've sat in the same position for more than an hour
Oestrogen drop causes lax, probably, ligaments between the joints
