Namaste.Iam 54 yr old.Attained menopause one year back.Since 2 months all my joints started aching.I have no swelling or redness.My fingers are stiff in the morning with pain and will get relieved after some time.But no swelling.Iam taking glucoseamine with chondroitin and MSM.Is it serious? Will this go away after some time.What should I do to protect my joints.
Thankyou.
Namaste ji.
At ur age bones usually become weak due to osteoporosis n generalised pain sometimes occurs.
Morning stiffness may indicate some inflammatory disorder n may need few tests to look in to this.
To protect ur joints u shd do some resistive exercises and take diet rich in calcium n proteins.
Some medicines may be given for which u may visit hospital.

These symptoms can be due to many disease like Rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory pathologist. Better to consult with a pain management doctor or a rheumatologist who will ask you for some tests like RA factor, Anti CCP, CBC with ESR, CRP and kidney functions test. Accordingly treatment would be given
