Pain assciate with hormone level change

During menopause, estrogen levels fall along with progesterone and testosterone. As estrogen levels decline, thyroid levels will follow because estrogen effects thyroid hormone production. See how everything is connected? So, how does estrogen connect to chronic pain? Well, artificially elevated levels of estrogen like found with hormone replacement therapy and oral contraception are strongly linked to joint pain. Women who use these hormone products are more likely to experience spinal pain for example. Estrogen has also been linked to arthritis. Using estrogen is like adding fuel to the painful fire. Joint pain is a natural response to inflammation in the body. Toe joint pain is no joke. Joint pain is noticed as early as the first trimester of a woman 's pregnancy. It is traced to a hormonal imbalance and is related to menopause.
Thyroid hormone is important for heart and lung function, muscle and nerve function, metabolism and gut motility. Thyroid hormone imbalances of the thyroid hormone can masquerade as many problems including: depression, menopause, insomnia, pain, and even psychosis.

Make sure that both tests are within normal range and that the levels are normal relative to each other.
