Can menopause really make a woman's muscles ache?

I guess I'm post menopausal....2 years no cycle.....went through the hot flashes....the whole bit...still having hot flashes.......I'm taking Cymbalta 60 mg for depression and pain but my back hurts and is stiff.

Any suggestions???

Can this be from menopause or is it more likely the depression?

Thanks

I am 46 almost 47

My sister whom is 49 is currently going through menopause and is having nightsweats, hot flashes, severe mood swings and yes, muscle cramps in her back, legs and arms. She has also gone through 2 years with no cycle but she has not taken anything for depression. I do believe that depression will cause muscle cramping...

There is a fantastic book that I recently purchased for her titled: What your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause by John R. Lee, MD with Virginia Hopkins. It's a great book that tells you EVERYTHING that you need to know about Menopause and hormones.

I guess it's possible it could be menopause. Different women have different symptoms. I'm almost 49 myself and I believe I'm going through menopause myself but I haven't really had the symptoms aside from irregular periods and breast tenderness.
