Hi, just over a year ago I had a full hysterectomy due to having womb cancer.

I have since had 2 check ups & due a 3rd in October. 
Since the op I have noticed my bones especially my knees are getting painful & popping/crunching.

Should I have been offered some kind of HRT after the op as my joints were fine?

I’m 61 years old so not sure if that makes a difference.

Thank you for any advice.

  • Hi Mamaden, I was 60 when I was diagnosed with cancer, ten years after going through the menopause and I have never taken any form of HRT.  I think you would be best to contact your CNS or GP who can advise you.  Your joint pains could possibly be due to a Vitamin D deficiency which would show up in a blood test.  Hope you get things sorted out. xx

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
