Today is World Menopause Day, and this year’s critical theme is Chronic Pain at Midlife. 💜

Joint stiffness, muscle aches, migraines, and widespread pain experienced during perimenopause and menopause have been brushed off as "just getting older" or dismissed entirely.

Chronic pain is a very real, under-recognised part of the menopause transition that deserves proper attention, research, and care.

Hormonal changes significantly impact our bodies beyond hot flushes—affecting joints, muscles, and overall well-being. It's time to break the silence, stop suffering in isolation, and ensure midlife pain is taken seriously by healthcare professionals.

You don’t have to just "grin and bear it." Let’s raise awareness, validate each other's experiences, and push for better, gender-sensitive healthcare across the UK and beyond.
