Foot problems in menopause are actually more common than you may realise. This week, I take a look at four of these problems, explaining what can cause them and what you can do to help yourself if you are experiencing any of them.

I am still wondering why it has not yet been labelled 'malady'? How come a so called 'natural process' ruines someone physically and psychologically and still be considered a natural thing simply because women have the capacy to endure pains? It is debilating and is taking some women's lives away! It is high time women came together to fund research to tackle menopause issues. Do not count on men to do something because they are the ones who are tethering with the 'menopause syndrome'. Anyway, it is none of their business and they just don't care!

So lucky I’ve never had feet problems with the menopause , but drinking water to keep myself hydrated makes me really bloated 😫
@AvogelCoUk4 жыл бұрын
Hi Lisa This can often happen if you suddenly start drinking lots of plain water when your body isn't used to it. Your body needs time to adjust so maybe start with just one glass of water a day for a week then increase to two glasses for another week and so on. Also, don't drink a lot with food as this will cause bloating!

It is so sad that we are so uneducated about menopause. I was at the end of perimenopause when I was getting swollen ankles and feet and no doctor could pinpoint what the problem was. That was six years ago. I also would have a lot of foot pain and I couldn't take long walks anymore. I was hoping to hear about itchiness in my feet.
@AvogelCoUk Жыл бұрын
Hi Zamev Itchiness in the feet can be caused by a number of factors such as thinning skin becoming more sensitive to what you wash with or wear such as socks, tights etc and also what shoes are made of. Hot flushes/sweats can often result in sweaty feet which can cause itchiness! Maybe also check blood pressure and circulation as these may be a factor too. Best Wishes Eileen

I am 46 and have been in menopause for a year now. I've had very fast weight gain, 19 pounds to be exact. Im a fairly small gal. My whole life i have been between 100lb and 115lb, im now all of a sudden 134 in a matter of just a few months. My feet are killing me on the bottom outer sides. Im finding it very difficult to walk and stand for even short periods of time, especially when just getting out of bed. Like i needed more things to complain about aside from horrid sweating and feeling like a butter ball turkey.🙄😁
@AvogelCoUk3 жыл бұрын
Hi TT Swift weight gain can indicate poor thyroid function which can often appear in the menopause. It is best to see your doctor about this so they can investigate properly for you. Best Wishes Eileen

About 15 years ago, I tore a tendon in a few places on my right foot. I was running at the time. I remember the pain very well. Last summer, just getting out of bed in the morning, I tore a tendon in my left foot. It was a very small tear, but hurt just as much and doing absolutely nothing!

I've been getting really sharp pains on the tops of my feet. When I'm walking around it is bearable, but as soon as I sit down for a few minutes and then go to get up again I can barely put any weight on my foot and limp like I've broken something. I'm writing it off as being menopausal as I'm in my 4th year and have been told by an older friend that this is common.

Yes I have had burning feet for the last year. Went on HRT last year. Not helping my feet… at night on fire. Socks help which is odd ?? I can’t drink too much water to keep hydrated as of course we can have more frequent visits to the loo in our 50s without drinking lots. I can’t when I’m in community due to no toilet facilities. I will give vitamin complex a go . The nights are getting warmer and my feet along with this. Hate the summer now
@AvogelCoUk3 ай бұрын
oh no that sounds so tough. It is so important to get the 2 litres of water into you a day, as it will help with so many symptoms and for your overall health. Especially in the summer when it is warmer. I hope you can find a way to get the water into you even though you don't like to use public toilets.

Hi Tishamae Unfortunately, this can happen if you are in the peri-menopause, hormones can fluctuate more triggering these symptoms as your eostrogen falls towards a period. You may find a magnesium supplement can be of benefit or you could try the herb Agnus Castus.

Hello, Eileen. Just watched your video on leg aches due to menopause. I have been suffering from achy legs for these past weeks. Is it more of muscle posture or hormonal? I sit the whole day at the office and have not been doing my exercises due to the quarantine brought about by this pandemic. Also, drinking water has been challenging due to wearing face mask. You mentioned taking magnesium, what is the dosage for this? I have also been feeling cold feet and legs when I wake up. My knees sometimes feel wobbly. Is it also hormonal? What should I do? Looking forward to your reply. hanks
@AvogelCoUk3 жыл бұрын
Hi Paris Posture can certainly cause these kinds of issues so, maybe check out KZfaq for exercises you can do at your desk; these can often just take a few minutes to do several times a day. Try to get up and have a quick walk, even for a couple of minutes once an hour to keep your circulation healthy. Dehydration will be an issue too so try and drink as much as you can when you can. Cold feet can indicate low blood pressure or poor circulation so best to get this checked out by your doctor at some point. I would suggest 150-200mg magnesium twice a day. Best Wishes Eileen
