There needs to be an entire movement for disclosing women's health problems, especially hormonal issues. It's absolutely disgraceful we are in the year 2026 and most women my age know nothing about HRT! And menopause is almost NEVER discussed! Men also need to be educated on women's health!

I’m a guy and have no idea why this needed up on my home page but how this is labeled got my attention quick. The heels ,the frozen shoulder, massive joint pain is my wife. But here’s the deal. She got those while on HRT pellets -she still has them but all these still showed up still after lie 3 years on pellets. The heels get so locked and the shoulder will freeze completely and excruciating and she goes and gets a shot for it. Most doctors can’t get the are with normal shot but one specialist uses X-ray guided and then the shoulder is good for 6 months to a year then it just shows up. They claim calcium build up but seriously it’s gone for a long time. But the title of this video is her and she’ll be shocked to see it especially because they showed up after HRT. For the people in comments who say your gyno says your hormones are fine -it’s time to find a new gyno or Primary Doctor. A lot of Doctors just see that all your hormone levels are with in the right zone. But that’s wrong —they all could be within the too high to too low Ragnar but the difference to a hormone Doctor or the right Gyno is the actual ratio of hormones to each other. So if you don’t hear the word ‘ratio’ then find another Doctor. HRT helped my wife with a ton but these things here are a problem for her. Definitely get your vitamin D up make sure it has Vitamin K in it and magnesium i believe. Otherwise you will have calcium issues. Anyway this is kind of the same with men. Our testosterone levels could be ok but our free testosterone could be out of ratio so basically we’re low testosterone and have every symptom.

I also had plantar fasciitis at 45 though I did not enter post menopause till 53. I had it for two years and it was totally debilitating. That was the beginning, hot flashes, ocular blefaritis, vaginal driness, headaches and insomnia followed until At 60 I was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis. I went in HRT and now 5 years later at 65 I feel better than at 42. All symptoms ate gone and I'm now into osteopenia and improving.

I had breast cancer so no HRT here but my feet and joints are killing me. Was completely passed as a lunatic when I tried to tell my doctor that I thought the plantar fasciitis was related to menopause.

The pain I've have endured for more than two years is so overwhelming I really don't want to be here anymore. I don't know what to do. I ran across your video and I see a small light at the end of the tunnel. I'm 58 and can barely walk!! I'm a grandma and cannot even play with my grandbabies anymore. It has effected my mental health dramatically. I need help and I need it fast!! 💯💔😭🤞
