Hello,
I will advise taking a blood routine and urine routine the checkout for any infection. As post menopause blood spotting is pretty rare. But still, a clinical examination will be helpful.
The pain in leg and arm at your age of 50 will be due to muscle weakness and due to which the tendency for the muscles to undergo fatigue becomes common post menopause.
I will advise getting the blood and urine tests done. Also, a clinical examination will be beneficial. The clinician might ask for ultrasonography of the abdomen or pelvic floor.
Doing simple exercises postmenopause will help improve the muscle physiology and reduce the pain and aches while improving the overall stamina to avoid fatigue.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
