I read a lot of article about menopause. I never heard about rib pain with early menopause. I am going through menopause right now. I am at the last stage of menopause, my period will start soon. I suffered more in the early stage, a lot of headache, hot flash, cold sweat, irritation, exhaustion and anxiety. Once you almost done with this stage, your body will be more stablized. You will easily feel tired and pain of your whole body. You have to go to have blood test of your hormone level and annual check up with your gynecologist. And make sure you take enough Calcium. Depends on what age you start the menopause, you need to discuss with your doctor. Because I don't know your age, it is hard for me to tell how many mg you should take.

I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with menopause. See your doctor.

If your having rib pain and your in your late 40's or 50's you should get a check up by a doctor, have any of your other bones hurt lately make sure your taking Calcium supplements everyday and have a mammogram. Good luck weird things happen at this age but have a complete check up.

Why take risk.See a doc

Sometimes when menopause happens you lose some bone mass . You should consult with your doc to make sure that it is indeed related to your menopause and not your gallbladder .

You will have a lot of symptoms with early menopause....such as: stomach ache, puking, headaches...no period. If you are over 40 years old....that is the usually the earliest to start expecting symptoms.

Over 40 and some of the things that have happened with regard to menopause are unreal. Now when it came to pain I saw the doctor and I would suggest you do the same.

i don't think so. you need a good physical and blood work
could be a few diff rent things that could make a difference in the quality of life..
The is a great board but no replacement for a real medical doc and exam. check it out, especially if it gets worse or continues !
There are free and low cost health clinics and programs.
Call the health dept

MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON. MENOPAUSE HAS NO SYMPTOM OF PAIN.

Is the pain in the front under your ribs or in the back, where your ribcage connects with your spine?

In the back, it may be your kidneys... Those are nothing nice and if it starts to get too bad like a constant ache, go to doctor ASAP. I ended up in the hospital for over a week because I waited too long before getting kidney pain looked at.

You really need to talk to your doctors about this as rib pain could be anything. As you dint say your age or weather you have been told that you have menopause it would be unclear as to weather you have it or not. Menopause cause hot flushes etc etc it would be wise to get some reading leaflets from your doctors and have them check out your ribs. Dint worry to much let them help you, it could easy be a strain or muscle pain which i have had in the past. Please go to your doctors

early menopause caused me to feel like i was living in someone else's body.

i too had "rib pain" but after ck-up w/my dr found out it was just nerve endings running from my breast into rib area. the pain was from a cyst in the lower part of my breast. my breast were 'uncomfortable' all the time due to the changes in hormone level, so i didn't really associate that additional pain w/my breast. i just noticed when my rib hurt.

get a ck-up.

No, rib pain is nothing that should be associated with menopause. You probably bruised yourself in some way. If the pain is mild, try taking Aspirin for pain and generally resting for a day or two. You can apply heat if you'd like. If, after a few days, the pain is the same or gets worse at any time, then go see your doctor who will probably do an x-ray.

that's a question for a doctor

Menopause is hot flashes and mood swings. There is no pain. You may have a bruised rib or something simple. A quick check with your Dr. will put your mind at rest. Good luck

Signs and symptoms

Every woman experiences menopause differently. Even the age at which menopause begins may be unique to you. Some women reach menopause in their 30s or 40s, and some not until their 60s, but menopause most often occurs between the ages of 45 and 55.

Your signs and symptoms also are likely to be very individual. You may breeze through menopause with few signs and symptoms. Or you may experience a number of physical and emotional changes, including:

* Irregular periods. Your menstrual periods may stop suddenly, or gradually get lighter or heavier and then stop. The unpredictability of your periods may be your first clue that menopause is approaching.
* Decreased fertility. When ovulation begins to fluctuate, you're less likely to become pregnant. Until you haven't had a period for a year, however, pregnancy is still possible.
* Vaginal and urinary changes. As your estrogen level declines, the tissues lining your vagina and urethra — the opening to your bladder — become drier, thinner and less elastic. With decreased lubrication you may experience burning or itching, along with increased risk of infections of your urinary Tract or vagina. These changes may make sexual intercourse uncomfortable or even painful. You may feel the need to urinate more frequently or more urgently, and you may experience urinary incontinence.
* Hot flashes. As your estrogen level drops, your blood vessels may expand rapidly, causing your skin temperature to rise. This can lead to a feeling of warmth that moves upward from your chest to your shoulders, neck and head. You may sweat, and as the sweat evaporates from your skin, you may feel chilled, weak and slightly faint. Your face might look flushed, and red blotches may appear on your chest, neck and arms. Most hot flashes last from 30 seconds to several minutes, although they can last much longer. The frequency, as well as the duration, of hot flashes varies from person to person. You may have them once every hour or only occasionally. They can occur any time during the day or night. They may be a part of your life for a year or more, or you may never have them.
* Sleep disturbances and night sweats. Night sweats are often a consequence of hot flashes. You may awaken from a sound sleep with soaking night sweats followed by chills. You may have difficulty falling back to sleep or achieving a deep, restful sleep. Lack of sleep may affect your mood and overall health.
* Changes in appearance. Many women gain a modest amount of weight — about 5 pounds on average — during the menopausal transition. The fat that once was concentrated in your hips and thighs may settle above your waist and in your abdomen. You may notice a loss of fullness in your breasts, thinning hair and wrinkles in your skin. If you previously experienced adult acne, it may become worse. Although your estrogen level drops, your body continues to produce small amounts of the male hormone Testosterone. As a result, you may develop coarse hair on your chin, upper lip, chest and abdomen.
* Emotional and cognitive changes. You may experience irritability, fatigue, decreased memory and diminished concentration as you approach menopause. These symptoms have sometimes been attributed to hormonal fluctuations. Yet other factors are more likely to contribute to these changes, including sleep deprivation and stressful life events — such as the illness or death of a parent, grown children leaving home or returning home, and retirement.
