The Achy Joints Nobody Mentions

It's actually a thing. It even has a name: 'menopause arthralgia.'

The quick explanation

Estrogen has anti-inflammatory effects on joints. As it drops, joint pain (especially hands, knees, hips) becomes common. Strength training, omega-3s, weight management, and HRT often help.

Why this matters

It's not 'just aging.' Knowing it's hormonal-influenced unlocks better strategies.
