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?
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
