[|Human|] Hello Dr. my mom is  51 year old in her menopause and she experience sever hand and feet swealing in the afternoon/evening  followed  by  lots of pain but it resolves in the morning.  Swelling is around joints mostly.  Would that  be an arthritis or something to do with her menopause
[|AI|]  Hi, In my opinion postmenopausal osteoporosis increases the incidence of arthritis of all joints especially weight-bearing joints like knee and backbone. It may increase with age and weight if uncontrolled. For now, she may use hot massaging with topical gels, painkillers like ibuprofen 500 mg twice daily if needed, decreasing her weight and avoiding heavy lifting and vigorous movements is very effective. Using a knee support and elevation oh her swollen leg after the massages is helpful for the swelling, otherwise visit her physician for proper evaluation.
