What Causes Joint Pain And Night Sweats During Menopause?
Hi, my name is Joni and I am 57 and have been out of menopause for going on 6 yrs. Around 5 months ago I started having joint pain and swelling in my right hand and around the same time I started having night sweats and hot flashes. My doctor has done numerous tests and I don't have rheumatoid arthritis or any auto immune diseases but, the night sweats are getting debilitating.
