This episode from My Knee Doc explores the connection between menopause and musculoskeletal pain. It explains how hormonal changes during menopause, particularly the decrease in estrogen, can significantly impact bone and joint health. The discussion covers:
Bone Density: Estrogen plays a vital role in maintaining bone density. Its decline during menopause can lead to bone loss and increase the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
Joint Pain: Menopause can exacerbate existing joint pain or even trigger new pain. This is due to the impact of estrogen on cartilage health and inflammation.
Muscle Weakness: Hormonal fluctuations can also contribute to muscle weakness, which can further impact joint stability and increase the risk of injury.
Inflammation: Menopause can lead to increased inflammation in the body, contributing to joint pain and stiffness.
The episode aims to help women understand these changes and provides insights into managing musculoskeletal pain during menopause, including lifestyle modifications, exercise, and potential treatment options. It emphasizes the importance of seeking professional medical advice for personalized management strategies.
