A member asked:
I want to try hrt to help with osteoarthritis as some studies says it helps but i am 67 and as i had hysterectomy it would be just estrogen. would be be a good idea?

Starting hormone replacement therapy containing estrogen at any age over 45 is a bad idea as it can lead to blood clots and stroke. A better option is one of many Biphosphonates which help prevent bone break down or osteoporosis. Talk to your Dr about your concern related to osteoporosis. They can monitor your bone density and keep an eye on your calcium levels and loss.
