Very Painful Joints/ Sometimes 2 Periods a Month Posted: 06-29-06 08:10am
Hello, i' m 47 (and a half), but whose
counting :-))
recently over the last 6 months I have had
2 months where I had 2 periods , just get
over one and exactly 13 days later get
another one (quite a heavy flow too)....
This is quite new to me as my periods have
always been clockwork to the minute...
Also my joints ache alot... I'm going to
see my doctor next week, is there a test
he does to see if you are
pre-menapausal?
Anyone else have any of these symptoms, I
was thinking maybe I was getting arthritis
but now I think it is related to the
hormone changes in my body
any ideas?

What did the doctor say? I'm sure you
found out that there is a test they can do
to check your hormone levels.
I have battled with those symptoms for
years. Mine turned out to be adenomyosis.
They just recently diagnosed fibroids
and endometriosis also. My joint pain is
in my hip mostly but sometimes in the legs
and back also. They had diagnosed me with
arthritis in my hip but it flares up
mostly when i'm on my period which like
you said comes every couple of weeks or
even more sometimes. But from talking to
others i've learned that all these
diagnoses can cause joint pain as well.
