Full body muscle and joint pain is not a typical symptom associated with menopause.
I can appreciate how you must be feeling. Consider finding a new primary care physician.
Do you experience the pain constantly or intermittently? Is it worse in the morning or in the evening? What triggers or worsens the pain?
An autoimmune disorder, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia or Lyme's disease are all possible conditions that might be the cause of the full body muscle and joint pain.
A definitive diagnosis can be made with blood tests including complete blood count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
