What Causes Pain And Stiffness In The Joints?
I am 55, menopausal and have a history of breast cysts. I have been diagonased with microscopic blood in my urine and have had tests done, but no cause has been found. I have hot flashes and then feel very cold. I am now having pain and stiffness in the small joints of both hands. I can barely close my fingers at times. I have a family history of rheumatoid arthritis.Do you think that the joint pain is a symptom of menopause or is there something else going on.
