World Menopause Day

Many people experience chronic pain during midlife, and for some, menopause can play a part.

Changes in hormone levels can affect muscles, joints and overall wellbeing, leading to symptoms such as joint pain, muscle aches, headaches and increased sensitivity to pain. These symptoms can have a real impact on daily life, work, sleep and mental wellbeing.
The good news is that support is available.
✅ Regular physical activity can help ease symptoms and improve mobility
✅ Good sleep habits can support overall wellbeing
✅ Maintaining a healthy weight may reduce pressure on joints
✅ Talking to a healthcare professional can help you explore treatment and management options

If chronic pain is affecting your daily life, don't struggle alone. Your GP practice can help you understand what's causing your symptoms and discuss the support available.
