Estrogen level: Many women with oa, ra, lupus, and fibromyalgia report an increase in joint pain just before or during their periods. This is likely because estrogen levels plummet right before menstruation and rise again after a woman's period is over. "estrogen is believed to be protective against pain, " says dr. Tucker. From the university of kentucky medical center, in lexington.
