<human>: Hi, I have had a full hysterectomy many years ago and I am now 60. I was taking 5mg of estrogen for a long time and it seemed to help with the joint pain & headaches/migranes. My migranes are under control.I am finally off the estrogen, but my joints are bothering me and it seems to be all of them now. I believe it s related to having the full hysterectomy and maybe no ovary s. Is there anything you can recommend?
<bot>: Hello, after hysterectomy some amount of calcium loss from body is common, and it causes joint pain and stiffness. I would suggest you to get your bone mineral density test and also vitamin D 3 level. If there is low bone density then you can start calcium and vitamin D3 daily. This will increase strength of the bone, and you will be completely pain free. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
