Hello, this is my first time here, and I have to say that it is a very easy site to navigate

, right, here goes :- I am 51 years old and i was diagnosed with breast cancer January 2012, had two ops, chemo and then radiotherapy, I returned to work January of this year, before starting chemo, I'd had a few random hot flushes, but nothing major, however the chemo stopped my periods and kicked started the menopause with a rather nasty, hard kick, hot flushes have calmed down a bit now all cancer treatment has finished, but my knees and hands are very very painful, I've had blood tests for arthritis, they came back normal, so I'm guessing the painful joints are due to the menopause, has anyone else experienced these problems? If so is there anything that can be taken or done to help??
