What Causes Swollen Ankle And Hair Loss After Hysterectomy?
I had a complete hysterectomy at 45. I have been on and off hormone treatment. I am 59 now. I was on progesterone only and having hair loss etc. I am also on throyid, armor. My new doctor place me on estratest about four weeks ago. My ankles are swelling and I have gained weight, can this medication cause these symptoms?

Hello
Weight gain is one of the most common side effects of this medication, but although joint swelling is not common it is certainly possible and you are quite right about the assumption.
Best wishes.
