A member asked:
Do some women get joint pains around the time of their periods?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I have definitely noticed this in some of my patients. There are estrogen receptors in just about every tissue in the body. I do not know the mechanism for this but it has been something that I have observed over the years.
