I welcome you to the EmpowHER community. I can appreciate your concerns regarding hormone therapy.
Estrogen has an anti-inflammatory effect in our bodies. When estrogen levels start decreasing, women could feel the effects in their joints.
One possible way to reduce the inflammation responsible for your achy joints is to try an anti-inflammatory diet. Please check with your physician first.
