I had a complete hysterectomy in 2008 at 43 years old. Two years later, I could hardly walk because the joint pain was so bad and the menopause symptoms were horrible. Two weeks after I started my pellet hormone replacement, the symptoms were completely gone and the joint pain was gone. I have been on the treatment for seven years and it changed my life! I would be in a wheel chair by now if I had not been able to get this treatment.
