Q: Hi! I had a total hysterectomy 11/02. I was never on hrt. I just started bio identicals. (2 biest .5); (100 progesterone); (.5 testosterone.)
I am having leg pain, in the muscles. I am also taking a good calcium and magnesium pill. I just started the bioidenticals, and the pharmacist says to take more progesterone. My leg pain is always a problem with pms too. It's pretty painful now and I also have itchy skin. Do you have any suggestions?
A: Dear Oona:
We would like to advise you, but I don't know the dose formula, and how many times a day you are using this formula, or for how many days or weeks you have been using it? We know we can help you fine tune the doses over time to solve problems and have the regimen fit you precisely.
We have many questions to ask you before giving advice, especially on this leg pain situation, and then we can make a clinical evaluation and accurate suggestion, something besides just adding in more progesterone.
