Hi all. Has anyone managed to get their GP to actually engage with joint pain as a perimenopause thing? My hands and knees have been really stiff in the mornings and I mentioned it at my last appointment but it got sort of filed under 'general aches' and moved on from quite quickly. I've got a follow-up booked and I want to come prepared this time. Did anyone find a particular way of framing it that helped? Or bring anything specific that made the GP take it more seriously? Feel like I spend half my appointments on the sleep stuff and the joint thing keeps getting bumped. Thanks in advance x
