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 drop right before menstruation and rise again after the period is over. The amount of pain is associated with the lower estrogen. You should be assessed by a doctor to see if you do have an underlying problem. Best to be with a Rheumatologist.
