There are some parts of menopause and midlife that are spoken about often.
Others can come as more of a surprise.
For some women, that can include changes in the way their body feels, including aches, stiffness or finding that existing discomfort feels more noticeable or more difficult to manage.
And when changes happen gradually, it can be tempting to put them down to age and simply carry on.
There can be many reasons why somebody experiences pain or stiffness, so it is important not to assume that menopause is the explanation for everything.
But neither should discomfort simply be dismissed.
If something is affecting your movement, sleep or everyday life, it is reasonable to want to understand it.
Sometimes that support may involve several different healthcare professionals.
