Hi,
From history it appears that you might be having some osteo-artheritis changes in your joints giving rise to this problem.
Depletion of estrogen in menopause does cause osteoporosis producing this type of picture.
Go for physiotherapy regularly and daily.
Take calcium, Vitamin A and D supplements.
You may take pain reliever as and when required.
Ok and take care.
